President Biden wants the G7 countries to develop a plan to eventually have Russia's frozen sovereign assets handed over Ukraine in order to support the war effort, Bloomberg has reported. Bloomberg's source have also said the US president has privately warned allies that Ukraine's collapse, and a Russian victory, would signify the international order is effectively destroyed for at least the next half-century.
"G-7 officials have been discussing options to use the $280 billion of immobilized Russian Central Bank assets, including using the money as collateral to raise debt or issuing guarantees against the frozen funds

This whole mess could have been avoided - - by holding a vote among the citizens of eastern Ukraine - - and letting them decide which country they wanted to belong to.
Yes - - given the histories of Russia and Ukraine - - the election would have been corrupt - - but who are we to talk about corrupt elections?
All this bloodshed - - mayhem - - destruction - - could have been avoided - - but it wasn't - - because of a stolen election here - - and demonizing Putin as if he were any more corrupt than Zelenskyyyyy - - because the demonrats are trying - - without any evidence - - to pin Putin onto President Trump.
It's tough to determine who is more evil - - the Russians - - the Ukranians - - or our own domestic commies.

Hate Putin and what Russia has done. But there are certain things a country can't ignore.
Having other foreign in the country your fight with, is provoking to widen the conflict.
Moving your frozen assets to the country you are fighting with is another.
Does the powers that be want WWIII or are they really so stupid. When you push a country to the point of no way out, he will talk of using nukes. If you continue to push he will use them.
Russia will sacrifice its people and allow its land to be devastated when fighting a war if it got to that point.
They always seem to be standing at the end of the day.How much blood will Europe and the US tolerate?.

Great idea, Joe and the Dems! If it works out for foreign policy, they can transfer the idea to domestic policy. The next thing you know, J6 prisoners will have their assets frozen and confiscated. Then used to pay for their prosecutions and imprisonments!

Yeah, Russia is going to just stand there and watch that happen.
No, wait, Russia will probably give the west 24 hours to give back their money, or Ukraine will become a nuclear wasteland. And, knowing Putin, it will actually happen.
Yep, Senile Joe bidet will allow a nuclear WW-III to happen to protect his money laundering operation in Ukraine. Elections have consequences -- especially stolen ones!!!!!

Is Biden trying to start WW3? Here's a better question, would starting WWIII hurt or help his reelection?
You just know he's doing this for two reasons. He can't get what he wants out of the Republicans which is hurting his bottom line and 2, he's week and every one knows it

Ukraine had three elections that The US (under obama/Biden) and the EU refused to acknowledge, and in fact actively worked to overturn, including fomenting a revolution that ousted the elected govt of Ukraine. Leading directly to the "Reconquista" of Crimea, and the following incursions/reconquista of the Donbass. ALL of which were "Autonomous regions" under Ukraine Laws,voluntarily part of the Ukraine Republic contingent upon representational respect and rights. Those representation rights, and Self Rule usurped by the "New Revolutionary Govt" installed by Obama/Biden/Hillary &the EU in Ukraine
Biden(et al) is acting even MORE like a Soviet Era Dictator than Putin at this point.
(Including his attacks against Trump, and seizure of HIS assets.)
Russia and Ukraine had a deal worked out on Crimea, Russia retained it's rights to having a seaport in eastern Crimea, Ukraine got the seaport in the west AND Ukraine got 1/2 the Russian Fleet. The Obama/Biden/Hillary/CIA puppet govt tore up the agreement and said "You get NOTHING! We TAKE it All!!". At which point more than half of Ukraines forces in Crimea, and 90% of their civilian "Intelligence/Security" forces there quit...and decided "We are Russian now, at least THEY keep their word, pay their Bills, recognize our rights" Russia also did something the Left "Insists upon elsewhere"...They granted "Right of Return" to all persons displaced previously from Crimea, and allowed them to return to a (mostly) self governing Homeland.
The New Ukraine govt then cut off all water, food, electricity, gas and supplies to Crimea, import as well as export...(much as Israel has done to Gaza)
The rank hypocrisy and inconsistency is blatant, and dangerous

Corollary to the Harry Reid Theorem:
You seize my assets, I will seize yours.
Lots of foreign companies do business in Russia.
Bad idea.
