Ex-President: Russia Should Seize All Foreign Assets

If they do the SWIFT sanctions, Russia literally has nothing left to lose in terms of dealing with the West.

There is no good reason not to just close down every Western institution operating in the country, and seize all assets.

RT:

The former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, hasn’t ruled out nationalizing the Russian-based assets of foreigners registered in “hostile jurisdictions.”

The harsh step may be taken in response to the seizure of funds of Russian citizens abroad, the ex-leader, who is currently deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, posted on Facebook.

“They also threaten to seize the money of Russian citizens and Russian companies abroad <…> But this will have to be answered quite symmetrically,” Medvedev, the president of Russia from 2008-2012, said.

The official added that the sanctions could lead to the “arrest of funds of foreigners and foreign companies in Russia,” saying that “nationalization of property of people who are registered in hostile jurisdictions” is also possible.

Medvedev also highlighted that he is “deeply indifferent about widely advertised restrictions of rights abroad.”

“By the way, for the record, neither me nor my family members didn’t have and don’t have either foreign accounts or any property abroad,” he said.

Short of an actual shooting war with NATO, Russia is lined up to win every single one of these battles.

It’s just amazing how incompetent the West actually is.

But I think we all should have known this after we saw the Afghan pull-out.

If China goes ahead and takes Taiwan, it is effectively the end of the American empire. This will spiral very quickly.
