"The EU and the Group of Seven nations (G7) froze some 300 billion
euros ($323 billion) of Russian central bank assets following Moscow's
invasion of Ukraine. "

Russia on Wednesday described the EU plan as banditism and theft.

banditism - Banditry is a type of organized crime committed by outlaws
typically involving the threat or use of violence. Wiki


I never gave this much thought....this money could be frozen forever
or taken if Putin nukes Ukraine.

As noted yesterday, all of those US/European manufactured products
(planes, industrial, etc) could not be repaired with parts or
tech-help from these countries if Putin nukes Ukraine...is most likely
the outcome.

Would Putin gamble that noting will be done if he nukes....only
toe-hold Putin has now is that natural gas going to Europe.

If Putin wants a neo Cold War, it's up to him.  Just Russia/China
doing business...

>whip up the passive western world into a fury.

I suspect NATO/US/etc have marked Russian locations for an in kind
response.
