I highly encourage this move by Putin and Moscow. It serves to further isolate the Russian market from consumer goods and perhaps devices whose controls can be repurposed for military use. Russian actions like this ensure that it will be decades or even longer before Western businesses make any serious investments in Russia.

Also, I am quite pleased to see the Europeans face some sort of consequence for their actions when all too often they think their actions will be unilateral and without consequence.

Yup - not retaliatory at all for Biden stealing all the Russian owned assets out of western banks and giving them to Ukraine.

So, the West has expressed the desire to steal $300 billion in Russia assets and gets in panties in a wad when Russia retaliates?

I have to agree. Europe, the US, NATO, all are guilty of shortsightedness and hubris.

Putin needs a retirement plan. It’s obvious Vlody is kicking Putin’s butt. LOL.

When you seize Russian assets and companies, what do you expect?

I don’t think this really matters much. Commercial ties between Russia and the West are shattered. They’re not coming back anytime soon. I don’t think either side trusts the other or will be willing to do business with one another for a long long time. For the US that’s not so bad - we are a net food and fuel exporter. For the EU, this is a disaster. They really needed Russian natural resources - including energy.

Gee, wonder where Russia got this idea? Biden is burning down the post 1945 world economic order for short term advantage... that may not actually exist. The flight from the USD is going to be real in a few more years.

Meanwhile, in the world of shipping, Biden and the EuroWankers fail,once again !! Notice a pattern here ?

Zman and the Ukies suffer most from CIA/NATO blunders !!

Russian Oil Price Cap Failing! | Russia is Losing in the Black Sea but Winning on the High Seas?

Oh, it’s funny just to watch Rep. Austin Scott, War Pig-GA, advocate attacking Russian shipping 🙄🤡

Italy and the EU could completely embargo all trade with Russia. That would teach a lesson.
