FOX Business host Stuart Varney argues Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ‘cronies are under attack, and they are losing control of their assets.’
…
STUART VARNEY: Going after these mega-wealth Russians has two objectives: First, it is serious and very public punishment of Putin’s cronies.
They made their money as friends of Vlad. Well now they’re losing it because they are friends of Vlad.
Second, maybe they will re-think their support of Putin. If the oligarchs are ruined financially, and thrown out of their palaces around the world, they’re going to be very resentful.
Grounds for a coup?

All part of the plan…..
Biden and Putin are working together to raise fuel costs and distract from politicians in America and their illegal activities
When will the Russian people wake up and realize communisms their worst enemy?
Its past time to end the oligarchs of America. The Clintons, Bushes, Obamas and Bidens.
The American oligarchs need to go after we save Ukraine
America has more corrupt oligarchs than Russia, we need to clear them out as well.
These are not sanctions – these are merely "special economic operations".
But the result:
Russian billionaires are now playing "Who wants to be a millionaire?"
What a farce! The world economic forum has always been true oligarchy. Unionized Corporate government
Oh so now the oligarchs are the bad guy's. What about Putin's assets? I'm in no way exonerating the oligarchs but last time I checked I don't recall seeing any 600 foot long yacht's with rocket launchers on the bow.
Hopefully this includes the American military, oil, pharmaceutical and media oligarchies…
MONEY (BIG) HAS A WAY TO SURVIVE EVERYTHING- JUST LIKE THE COCKROACHES DID OVER EONS!
The end of "the era of oligarchy" is just starting. I wouldn't say it was over. We have one hell of a fight in front of us.
No concern about USA/UK oligarchs—Drexels, Astors, Du Ponts, Windsors, Grosvenors and the lot!
Oh, sweet summer child, you forgot to mention the biggest reason: 3) set precedent for governments to extra-judicially and arbitrarily seize private property any time they want.
Wrong Stuart the sanctions are lifted for the Oligarchs!’
America has its own
No oligarchs no more,, will be Hippocratic now even this guy as a jornalist,, foolish!!
!!! 28.2.2022: A black day! As a Swiss citizen, I am deep ashamed for our Bundesrat, which reveals the holy neutrality of Switzerland.
In the Federal Constitution is clearly written: "Article 185 external and internal security: 1 The Federal Council meets measures to safeguard the external safety, independence and neutrality of Switzerland. 2 He meets measures to safeguard internal security."
Over the heads of the sovereign, the Federal Council decides directly to give up this centuries old tradition! That's just a sacrilege. Russia has never hurt Switzerland, a scandal. Our country could be an island of peace at which all parties could advise themselves. And now this possibility has disappeared. Catastrophic, a shame for our fatherland. !!!
Hit, Russia society with drones and chemicals. Let Russia loose.
I hope so bad that the oligarchs are over!!!! It's been wayyyyyyyy over time!!!!!
So being a billionaire makes you an oligarch?
Whoever highlights these comments is a moron or has an agenda.
The Cronies are crying, oh DARN…. EVIL, GREEDY, CORRUPT AHOLES
Lets hope its the end for Oligarchs or "Philanthropes", how they are called in the western world
Should just float the idea that oligarchs would receive immunity from war crime charges if they were to remove Putin from power and end the war. It doesn’t mean anything would happen, but we need to keep sowing division and paranoia in their government.
This is what they did to Trump. Big companies partnering with the government ( or a political party ) to go after private people to ruin them. It's never more clear than today that the biggest companies in America are deciding policy. This is many reason the borders are wide open, the companies want the cheap labor. We buy billions in oil from Russia at the same time giving Ukraine billions to fight them. It's a shame what has happen to America.
Upon what authority has assets been seized and forfeited?
I do not see the rule of law, just anarchy.
