Putin's 'shock' as Russian money set to fund his downfall in Ukraine | Bill Browder

"I think Putin never thought that would happen. Putin thought that we would always be, you know, these these highly corrupted Westerners."
Bill Browder describes the shock of himself and likely those close to Putin as the West closes in on sending Russian asset cash to Ukraine.

Dude was a predatory capitalist who was stealing the wealth of Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. After Putin stopped him and his friends, Russia went from a failing, Anarchist State to a growing stable country which is now growing faster than all major NATO nations. Ok, Navalny, but I’d say Assange case is worse, as the formers charges were legitimate and he died of a brain hemorrhage. Then there’s Gonzalo Lira, a U.S. citizen (who I’ve heard liberals say deserved to die due to his opinion), who died in a Ukrainian prison due to not getting medical attention. And where did Snowden go? Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to live in Russia atm, but we are on a downward trajectory and they’re on an upward trend. And the propaganda is probably as bad in each country. MSM in US and UK is jarring to watch due to the spin they put on everything.

Don't mistake Putin treating his population like medieval peasants as a different working economy. The Russian people are so use to getting beaten down by their oppressive government that it gives the Kremlin a lot more leeway to tighten the screws in situations like this. The only reason it doesn't hurt them more is because they have alternate trade partners who have help lessen the blown, but even then it wasn't enough considering the trade Russia lost with the west. If the west continues to target the holes in their sanctions it will only cause Russia even more harm. In regards to the west, we haven't even bothered to roll out of bed yet. The impact from Russia's war of expansion has had a very limited impact on most nations, and its populations. As usual the west refuses to sacrifice anything in order to deal with a future threat that is attempting to wipe a nation off the map.

Great idea if you have no knowledge of finance nor politics. Ever heard of the word 'diplomacy' ?

But he is smart and refrains from using any illegal tactics (such as UK. Germany, France USA etc) to settle this local boundary squabble. He keeps using conventional war rules and does not attack civilian areas - because he is aware of the rule - unlike yanks who don't give a damn for rules nor contracts nor agreements nor anything which would bring PEACE. A NEVER ENDING war is what USA dearly needs to attempt to pay for its 34 trillion dollar debt to the rest of us. Each Amerrican and Brit born today is IMMEDIATELY 100,000 dollars or pounds in debt. From day one. Now think about that. usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html Don't look at the state of your economies if you are of a nervous disposition.

USA/UK/Germany are all in the stages just before liquidation. 34 TRILLION is a serious amount of money - but don't worry. As long as the people at the top don't reveal the disaster they are in and keep getting paid their annual wage then they are not likely to mention that the west is long since bankrupt. It is an ever expanding bubble with zero resources and one commodity - trust - or as they put it "strength". Yes strength in weakness. That is what saves you all. BRICS are dominating. Just ignore that fact. Wait till you read the news about what they have bought from the countries who couldn't pay the energy bills. I watched Japan buy up lots of newYork buildings and the yanks were raging. Now that USA is worth a total of MINUS trillions who would be so nasty as to buy the whole heap for buttons and then sell it to Congo? And let the Congo boys sort out the mess.

Damn right. Trillions owed

[@ClemensKatzer]

Estimates earlier in the war were reconstruction etc. might be 1 trillion, give or take; and frozen assets amount to 600 billion. So, it's a significant portion. OK, that was a while ago, and did not include damages, crimes (compensation for victims), stolen assets (Oil etc. from Donbas and agricultural products), so that probably adds another trillion. Still, 600 billion is quite some part of 2 trillion. "Only the profits from it" (1-3 billion?) as discussed elsewhere is indeed pocket money.

[@kennethkeen1234]

Great idea if you have no knowledge of finance nor politics. Ever heard of the word 'diplomacy' ? Putin remains steadfast on the rule of international law and hence is getting a lot of pressure to walk straight in and blast the Ukrainians off the map and take back the land that is rightfully Russia. But he is smart and refrains from using any illegal tactics (such as UK. Germany, France USA etc) to settle this local boundary squabble. He keeps using conventional war rules and does not attack civilian areas - because he is aware of the rule - unlike yanks who don't give a damn for rules nor contracts nor agreements nor anything which would bring PEACE. A NEVER ENDING war is what USA dearly needs to attempt to pay for its 34 trillion dollar debt to the rest of us. Each Amerrican and Brit born today is IMMEDIATELY 100,000 dollars or pounds in debt. From day one. Now think about that. usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html Don't look at the state of your economies if you are of a nervous disposition. Only the BRICS economies are continually expanding and the way to stop that is simply to BOMB them and destroy their societies through 'democracy' movements! Get injected, keep getting jabbed and you will be fine! Ignore the initial poor health and inability to walk or think, that will go away after a month or at the longest six months.
