Assets belong to those who own them! It doesn't matter what excuses you bring up to take them away, it's THEFT!!! It's like saying, I'm not giving you your money because….. The moment you say, "Russian assets" it means they are Russian.
Lmao russia have already frozen those assets bu the fact that they dont allow cpuntries to withdraw their funda
This clearly reveals the “hidden principality “, or government that unified the east and the west.
The “Unbreakable bond” of FINANCIERS!
This “war” is always about their struggles, their “infighting”.. the deals they make between each other are formulated so each receives a profit/sum.
Our lives are simply valued for their profit…..
Your a +, or a —….(plus or minus) in a global market economy.
You HAVE NO FREEDOM . You are a number… and a man. (Social security number)
As cattle… is the prey.
You need to rise up.. and grow up.
Respect for Russia

There were a lot of braindead westerners claiming Russia was a more reliable partner than Turkey, we all saw how true that is..
As a Russian I can tell about financial transformation in our country. After 'crazy ninties' (the West call this time democracy but it was an anarchy) the whole economy was destroyed and divided between oligarchs via different schemes offered by our 'western partners' (IMF and other western advisors helping to maintain 'democracy'). After Putin was elected as a president he stopped taking loans from IMF, started to pay out soviet and Eltsin's debts and taking key industries under state control. But still before sanctions a lot of mining companies were registered in western countries (Cyprus, UK, Netherlands and others) and almost all revenues and taxes went to these countries instead of Russia budget. So there always was a fight between Putin and oligarchs. Sanctions let Putin to change the situation. Since 2022 a lot of companies have changed their registration.
For example,
🔹'Yandex' (our key browser, delivery, taxi service) from Netherlands to Russia (one part stayed in Netherlands);
🔹'Sakhalin-2' from Bermudas to Russia (that doubled the budget of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk city);
🔹'VK' (our key social network) from British Virgin Islands to Russia;
🔹'Polymetal' was registered in Jersey island UK, now this company is divided into two parts where one is registered in Kazakhstan and another sold to Russian company 'Mangazeya';
🔹'Global ports' from Cyprus to Russia
and so on and on and on.
Russia is getting its freedom from western 'democracy' (neocolonialism) right now. Good luck to our African friends, they are getting their resources back to their budgets, too.
The West had undertaken its first Crusade against Russia in 1240-1242 and was defeated. Then they tried to do it in 1612, 1812 and 1941 and were defeated. Hopefully, this Crusade will be the last for them.
These western really do behave like a 1 year baby
This interviewer is a shameless western imperialists' agent. He doesn't even bother with the utter illegality of what the western warmongers have done. It's against international law and norms to freeze Russian assets, let alone confiscate it. How many illegal wars have the imperialists waged since the end of World War 2?
Countries need to seriously think about deweponising the US dollar.
So officially US has no investments there right? Or at least not enough to be on this list. But tiny island of Cyprus has almost 90B? Yeaaaah, seems like some great power is using Cyprus as satellite to hide their own investment. I wonder who that is with all of those McDonalds, starbucks etc xD
This is just stupid they already did and no one cares . That lady couldn’t even name any companies
Hahaha…
"Lended bread should be given back!" as we say.
This is detrimental to the creditability of the west as financial institutions
After the US coup in 2014 and the Ukrainians slaughtering unarmed Russian speaking Ukrainians of all ages living in the Donbas areas ( like what has been occurring in Palestine for past 76 years) and after the US arrogant A/Hs threatened to seize Russian assets – Russia very naturally threatened to seize US assets. Does US have any assets other than $34 trillion DEBT? Have they returned the Africans Gold back to Africa. When was the last audit of Gold reserves in US. Many moons ago. Is there any gold left in US.
Its funny to me….that we did that to there citizens but in good faith russia didnt sieze american civilians assets?
So basically the u.s stole Russias money. The u.s has no low
The US froze Russian money, so Russia can play the same game 😂😂😂😂
Western nations are just criminals im broad day light
I am surprised Russia hasn't frozen Western asset yet. They have been patient.
well why not? Go Russia.
In other words Russia is running out of money to finance the war.
Yes i agree russia has a right to defend itself
Russia is very intelligent and smarter than those idiots
Не существует никакого преступления, никакой жестокости, никакой мерзости, которую может вообразить человеческий разум, но которую русские не совершили, не совершают и не совершят, если Путину и его преступным сторонникам будет позволено продолжать…
When Iraqi Libya Vietnam Syria Afghan Serbia were destroyed no one froze any western money -Ukraina is no different from above mentioned It is not nice that USA and Putin do revenge on each other Western media now see what’s wrong on both side African after finally got free asking for their gold to be return not just their stolen articraft –
I LIVE IN AMERICA & EVEN I'M SAYING,"GOOD" PUTIN HAS SHOWN LEADERSHIP & BIDEN CAN'T PICK WHICH ICE CREAM FLAVOR HE LIKES BEST!!!
When russia froze jp margan assets everyone stop talking aboit taking russian assets !very quet.
An eye for an eye
I don't think the war is going to end and if it does theres not going to be any Ukraine left.
😂😂
She is telling BS, Western companies who wants to live left Russia without a problem and could sale their assets to Russian business on stock exchange . All these western companies who are still there with their assets , they just making a lot of money and did not want to leave . It’s so f..ng hilarious and disgusting when all these analysts are following rules to blackmail and demonize Russia. But I understand, media is delivering such news for western audiences, to avoid a shock if this audience find the true. The other 7 billions don’t need such news , they understand the reality . Ironically western society keep thinking they a smart and know the world , but in reality they living in virtual reality of lie and brainwash.
There's a reason why Russians are chess masters😂
Under that logic, who will pay for the damages in Gaza?
Westerm imperialism is built on thievery historically.
Don’t sell this bullshit , I’m from Russia and I was investing to the us stocks for many years. But when the war started, us hold all my assets. And now I’m poor, cause I can’t withdraw my money.
Why I have to sacrifice, im simple person, not politic or war supporter.
I quit my lovely country , cause I’m against the war. But now I feel like I’m Jewish in 1939 year, cause everywhere I have problems with relocation, it’s so complicated to get simple stuff like visa or bank account .
Seems the tables are turning
USA
Common Muslim enemy
The European seems to be fools, by fueling a loose war that may not goes well for them
Take it , don’t announce it
I'll just hear keep up the great work you're going
Al Jazeera is total rubbish,so you are saying Russia should not retaliate to western aggression?
Its hilarious when I see that there's not a single dollar belonging to the US that could potentially be seized. But it all belongs to the European. So US threaten to seize Russian 300 billion dollars in which European backed US but here we are, their money might get seized as well but not a US money. These people are modern time slaves to the US😂
American govt wants to benefit from international law yet they do not respect international law
Thats what greedy people get for not leaving Russia.
All joker's…
Putin views the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder. They have no hopes, dreams and are less than human to him. Take every penny of the assets. The US has invested billions into defending the Ukraine, protect the assets. Russia has an economy the size of Italy, he will loose much much more than he can seize. Take the Mc Donald’s Russia no big deal.
US and EU did it first, sorry.
Alot of people in this thread dont understand why this doesnt matter and it shows. Russia has already siezed physical assets and is threatening stocks not the same as the wests control of hard currency.
the company like mc Donald who left russia was a huge benefit of russia
the chefs were russians. who know how to make anything , now they make stuff on thier own land which was earlier mc donald
which boosts russian economy
