Mandatory reminder that the reason the West has $300B in stolen Russian reserves is that Monke felt fit to tell Ramzan about the coming war and not Elvira.

That $300bn in Russian assets was the cheapest imaginable way to undermine the entire Western financial system. Already Western banks have lost a similar amount since the "freeze", and every theft since has been marked on every global financial investors diary.

The Kremlin repatriated as much as it could before the SMO, and dangled the rest as an irresistible carrot to the numbskulls and thieves running Western society - who literally could not stop themselves.

And needless to say, Russia already gained far MORE in assets from the equally imbecilic enforced "sanctions" that lead to Western companies giving in to the pressure and selling them for pennies on the dollar to Russians, who turned many of them into new companies filling the same demands.

Of course $300bn is a LOT of money, I wouldn't smack you if you only offered ME 1% of that, lmao.

But the Kremlin has gained something worth considerably more - the undermining of trust in Western financial institutions.

You lack the ability to think strategically.
