All in all russian oligarchs lost 80% of their property in Europe by now.

Seems like when some one is at war, grab all assets as quickly as you can as long as they are too weak to keep it, you can take it.

Russia is basicly wiped out in european economy. The biggest fish are the 380 billion assets of russian national bank. 60% of their savings and reserve

Russia basicly is first country in worldhistory that pays reparations at start of the war.

Hong Kong TV: Before the war Putin requested the Russian army not to launch large scale attacks on major Ukrainian cities to avoid high civilian casualties. Russian defence ministry accuses the west of prodding Russia to attack big cities in Ukraine so that the west can put the blame of civilian casualties on Russia.

Military experts say russian logistics are about to collapse within 10 days.

Sadly, isn’t that what is happening to Ukraine by stronger Putin Russians nicking Kievs treasure and lands off it

Nice try. The first targets should have been Ukrainian air bases. But unexpectedly, the Russian military failed. It is too late to try to salvage face for your partner.

Who is he? I don't remember seeing him on TV. Don't think that he can convince people that he will make America great again

A big lieutenant general. A kind of Wesley Clark 2.0

The big problem i see is, how will Putin react when his army indeed collapses as experts predict? He already lost more face than Cher and i guess in the end his generals need to pull the plug

If the past is any guide, Germany wrote off the Soviet Union the very same way and started Operation Barbaros. Soviets faced annihilation and then geared their economy for war. What happens after a long time was a complete reversal with Soviets in Germany and emerging as a super power. This did not come cheap and Soviets lost almost 15% of their population yet still managed to persevere. Prior to WW2, Soviet economy and military was not strong enough to even present itself as a great power. What this tell us that, in peace the Russians progress slowly. In war, they can truly outshine and use war as a basis to become a true power.

Waging economic and financial war on Russia is going to make a lot of people think....very hard. You are going to see the displacement of the US dollar as the reserve currency in due time. That in itself will be severe blow to the US and once of its own making. China is going to rapidly work on alternate schemes and intoduces new laws making it very difficult for many westerna companies to sanction China.

I dare the US sanction China over it potentially supplying Russia war material. Then everything will truly go to shits with the West feeling it the most.

So, all this propaganda is just useless when there is very little foresight of the future and poor understanding of history. It simply going to delude some people who are only going to get killed as cannon fodder which we recently experienced.

The Russians are excellent at bombing civilians and committing mass war crimes. I’ll give them that.

Didn't the Russians launch a bunch of cruise missiles at Ukrainian airfields at the start of the war?

Excuse me,
Theft?

What are the sanctions then, what about the oversea russians getting their properties stolen?

The airline companies still wished to do business but couldnt thanks to the swift denial.

This isn't theft, this is tit for tat.
