  1. any country can be robbed by the US if it has trade relations with the US.

  2. Now is the time to take off the gloves. Collect all of the Russian Frozen assets and liquidate them. Take the money and use it for Ukraine's Security and Humanitarian causes. There's no reason to give it back to Russia because they have destroyed Ukraine's infrastructure and human life.

  3. if it is impossible to get your money for the sale of our goods, and buy your own goods for your money, then your money is not worth the paper on which it is printed.

  4. oh how cynical, the "civilized west" cares about human life now! how many sanctions did u hear about when US/UK illegally attacked iraq, or for crimes in Yeman and Palestine, how about the crimes committed by the Chinese. How about all the childeren who starved in Iran and Venezuela as a result of illegal sanctions… take your wars to mainland US and stop pretending u care. the world knows better now!

  5. Wow how can u just freezes russian accounts.. many russian didn't want to fight.. why the innocent gotta get hurt. This is so messed up

  6. If the American ruling class is determined to ruin Russia , it might reflect on the Russian experience of overthrowing the Czar in 1917. Lenin and his radical socialist Bolshevik Party quickly seized power in " Ten Days That Shook The World " ( book by John Reed )
    Will the fate of Putin's POST COMMUNIST RUSSIA be to be replaced by a 21st century Lenin Redux ? As a democratic socialist I can only welcome a return to the socialist idealism of 1917 Russia.
    I have no doubt that the American Imperialism will respect the New Communism in Russia just as it did in the Russian Civil War which ended in the victory of Leon Trotsky's Red Army .
    And the New Communism in Russia -free of the Russian oligarchs – will set a revolutionary example once again for the workers of the whole world. For the oppressed and exploited workers right here in the United States , in " OUR democracy " .
    THAT is how the NATO war against Great Russia will end !

  7. That's a good way to destroy our own dollar…

    Other countries now see they can't trust the dollar

  8. NOT BEING DISRESPECTFUL BUT YOUR HIGH PRICES, CLOSED STORES OR NO MONEY PALE IN COMPARISON TO THE INNOCENT UKRAINIAN PEOPLE BEING BOMBED OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND EVERYTHING THEY EVER HAD DESTROYED AND FAMILY MEMBERS WOMEN AND CHILDREN DEAD
    SORRY, DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR PRICES

  9. Sanctions, is an act of WAR!! Joe Biden has no constitutional authority to punish a Sovereign country with Sanctions, therefore Biden is a war criminal

  10. No interests fees,or agenda to stop era,21 21.

  11. This is illegal! Do you still feel safe to put money in the banks which are controlled by USA and the west? They literally can freeze people’s assets when they want with any made up reasons.

  12. The world should not just sanction Russia but tell Russia it's overseas assets will be forfeited for future Ukraine rebuilding reparations. This will give incentive for Russia to exit Ukraine before all their funds are used up!

  13. So if a country can seize homes, yachts, football clubs, cars, private properties and money's and stocks from citizens and statesmen of a whole country how hard will it become for them to do it to us?🤔

  14. The US govt is far too comfortable stealing from individuals it doesn't agree with.

  15. As a neutral country, Switzerland is undoubtedly undermining its position of neutrality established for hundreds of years. No one will believe that Switzerland is neutral. It will not believe that art has no borders, sports have no borders, and science and technology have no borders. The impact is very bad. Switzerland has set a bad example!

  16. What if you have a Russian student going to school here in America to University how are they supposed to pay their bills and their rent in the school tuition if the federal government sees all their assets because of what their parents Are Doing

  17. Not All Russians should be Blamed for what Putin's Doing

  18. ukraine is fascist country

  19. what Putin's decisions are everyone's suffering… your president wage a war and threatening nuclear war against the whole world!!! you live in the same country so then everyone will suffer!!! so many innocent Ukrainian has died because of Putin's war!!!!

  20. I am an American and I really think We have been out of control for many years. We need to keep our nose out of things. We serve the gods of Egypt

  21. No one wins in terms if war both are suffering from all the consequences specially the ordinary people

  22. it's China who advises Putin to do these terrible things.

  23. Empire of lies? And should we call you?empire of dumb ass?

  24. "We are… bla.. bla… bla… bla… and bla.. and bla.." "1week 🇺🇦🇷🇺" vs "70years 🇮🇱🇵🇸" no ones care, where's the world? #GoPutin #Urraaa #StopUSA 🤍💙❤️🇷🇺

  25. Freezing Russian assets, better start with the republican party.

  26. Here's an idea to prevent future dictators from attacking other countries: sanction all countries who have dictators and refuse to do business with those that don't have an elected government. This should have been done to Putin the moment he changed the Russian constitution to make himself president for life.

  27. HELP, please help ukrainian people. I don't want leave in russion federation. HELP

  28. It took US two week to reach Bagdad, it took Russia to reach Kiev 5days, and aren’t using more weapon, because they still have a feeling of Slavic connection their mission is not to kill Ukrainian people, but a regime change, if you remember G.W Bush “Saddam Husain must go” same thing is happening. I don’t know why all of a sudden West is crying he is playing their game of regime change. Hypocrisy is there. US went, and changed regime killed millions of Iraqi population yet UN could not even stop, or condemn so I say we need to change this whole BS system of America getting away of a war crimes, while blaming others the same crime they have been committing centuries.

  29. If the world do not stop pushing Putin to the prink We will have a WWIII sooner rather then later. Ukraine must give up their stupid demands of joining NATO, if the world is willing to start a WWIII for Ukraine then let’s get start, and kill us all, Putin is in a suicide mission are we?

  30. People keep painting this news as black and white its clearly gray both sides are not innocent

  31. Abc Americans broadcast communism

  32. Keep laughing everyone Putin will win anyways.All those fake news…No sanctions will stop him 😂

  33. The ugly produce significantly whistle because change intialy visit a a elegant halibut. boundless, sleepy school

  34. Many Russians oppose the war on Ukraine but millions support Putin and the invasion.

  35. they why not put sanctions in china too they have invaded a philippine island, arent we inutual defense.

  36. What's with all this "sanction" crap? When Iraq invaded Kuwait, America sent troops to drive out the Iraqis. So, why are Americans sitting on their hands now? Americans don't have a problem killing people with brown skin, so why should white skin make any difference?

  37. Isnt attacking a foreign countries bank considerd an act of war?

  38. Little hitler will crumble
