LONDON, May 21 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said there was a possibility Group of Seven nations would support Ukraine by as much as $50 billion using loans linked to seized Russian assets, Sky News reported on Tuesday.
"I believe it's important for the G7 to work together to show a united front and to show that we can generate meaningful resources to support Ukraine over the next several years," she told Sky News.

You can be sure they're trying to figure a way to justify stealing the assets actually there (about 206 billion). But some wags here have already tacitly have said in effect 'we can seize them as reparations (usually those are something that occurs post hostilities). What are they going to do, nuke us?"

May it be so!
I agree. Just seize the funds and use them to counter Russian aggression. Why bother with the pretenses?
Russia might void Western patents and copyrights.
Sure, sieze a country’s assets. What could go wrong? It’s not like it would damage our reputation as a safe place to invest, would it?
You’re right.
And then they’ll want at least $ trillion (For the deep pockets of their cronies) to re-build Ukraine.
Why can’t WE keep it?
“Sure, seize a country’s assets. What could go wrong? “
So we haven’t declared war but we can seize the assets? What else can Janet do?
We’ll give you more money to watch you die.
Russia and China are counting on the US seizing Russian US Dollar assets, as part of their BRICS economic plans. And US neocons and DC criminals can't help themselves - like putting a steak in front of a dog.
Check out a couple of the neocon nutburgers on this thread rubber-stamping piracy, and the death of the US dollar as reserve currency!
Seizing assets is government theft and leads to confusion and unpredictability in financial markets.
It’s also bad for consumers and bad for businesses, which is the MO for the Biden/Harris administration.
“Rah Rah” War.....”Rah Rah” totalitarian government.(Sarcasm)
I agree. Just seize the funds and use them to counter Russian aggression. Why bother with the pretenses?

Seizing funds won’t counter Russia, you’ll need warriors and weapons.
This idiocy produces neither.
It’s just theft and money laundering.
“Seizing funds won’t counter Russia, you’ll need warriors and weapons.”
1. It’s a bugger to pay for and buy soldiers and weapons without funds.
2. The money will be used so Ukraine can pay for and buy soldiers and weapons and, ultimately, rebuild their country.
I remember the good old days when I was in the Navy and we Hanged Pirates.
Now we give 'em jobs at the Fed.
STHU Brainless post.
Turning not just your children, but you grand and great grandchildren, into slaves.
Seize our assets without us even committing a crime.
