    It will also destroy the last credibility US financial system have, piss off Russian capitalists and make them invest in the west even less. Win/win/win.

    Worse part is that will give maidan regime some more time to push even more Ukrainians into the grinder.

      Russia’s GDP is dwarfed by the West. If Russian investors weren’t put off by having assets frozen when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, they’re unlikely to care about some more weapons. After all, the Russian people have seen many years of conflict. The rich are going to care about their hoards, not about the “special military operation.”

          I don’t see where the question comes from. There are other driving forces in Russia behind the Ukraine War.

        If Russian investors weren’t put off by having assets frozen when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022

        They already were, why they would even put more money there when they are getting frozen, but as long as their funds are only frozen, they could still have hope that the entire issue gonna get resolved one day and they will get it back. If the money get confiscated, that’s entire another situation.

        Muh GDP!
