    Can you start that as a separate thread?

    Copied it to the Den as well, so it is in both forums.

    Gotta love it. Making a BBQ out of a bomb is possibly one of the most " Murica" things I can think of...well except it's Ukraine LOL.

    Be very careful. Freezing assets is one thing, becoming judge and jury is different. This needs to be decided by an intl court, not the US

    I put it in the den a while back and it got locked almost immediately.
    I’m not upset by it or anything, but with some of the recent decisions I do wonder whether calling this site a community is just for show.

    There aren't exactly saints on that list. Obviously if it's one of the VERY FEW that have spoken out against Putin that's different. Think it's beyond doubt that Putin's assets for example aren't the assets of someone just caught up.

    They're welcome to sue to get their stuff back. Just like in Europe where some homes have been taken over to house Ukranian refugees.

    It might have gotten locked by one mod thinking it was a dupe, or that it was a Too Hot thing. Having been a mod I think it was probably just miscommunication.

    This may be the best metaphor for Russia currently. Brings to mind the "this is fine" meme

    Nope, the lock response said it didn’t belong there. Wasn’t a rude response or anything, but some of the decisions lately really baffle me.

    He should ask Rand if Russia has the right to reclaim Alaska too.

    He's made pretty clear over the last few years that he is more loyal to Putin's Russia than to a pluralistic United States

    That's gonna do nothing for the war though. It'll take many years for any increase in production and refinery operations to even make a dent to the current Russian exports to Europe. It'll also take cooperation from ME countries as unilateral production changes will not be welcomed there and they can change their capacity to counteract the changes here. They're already pretty wary of American actions over the recent years, and they're drifting pretty quickly toward the Sino-Russian bloc.
