Russia warned the West on Tuesday that Moscow would be very tough if the United States and European Union seized hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Russian assets.
After President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, the United States and its allies prohibited transactions with Russia's central bank and finance ministry, blocking around $300 billion of sovereign Russian assets in the West.
The EU on Monday adopted a law to set aside windfall profits made on frozen Russian central bank assets, it said on Monday, in a first concrete step towards the bloc's aim of using the money to finance the reconstruction of Ukraine.
"This is theft: It's the appropriation of something that doesn't belong to you," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik radio, TASS reported.
Zakharova said the response from Moscow would be "extremely tough" as Russia felt it was essentially dealing with thieves.
"Considering that our country has qualified this as theft, the attitude will be towards thieves," Zakharova said. "Not as political manipulators, not as overplayed technologists, but as thieves."
Russia has said that if its property is seized then it will seize U.S., European and other assets in responses.

Oh, fuck off. If you feel so strongly about people not taking what doesn't belong to them, then give Crimea back to Ukraine.

Casual reminder that in response to a bunch of US companies pulling out of russia, Putin drafted a bunch of laws that made it legal to steal the property and assets of those companies.

I dunno, just like nuclear energy people seem to ignore the risk of the nukes. That's not to say that we should be giving in, but I am not unafraid.

Weirdly conflicted.
I think Russia still has the sense that anything labeled an attack would result in a united assault on Russia that could become a World War.
However, Russia could play by non-physical attacks, such as social and political interference to sway politics to get those who'd side with, support, and be submissive to Russia. Something like that wouldn't probably get Russia involved in another physical conflict they have no hope of winning without China.

If they nuke us, we nuke them, and our nukes are better.

Russia continuing to be a problem. If only it had been dealt with properly in 1991.

Indeed. But it would have been unAmerican to try to do anything about domestic (to Russia) and foreign oligarch jackals scavenging the ruins of the USSR to the detriment of the people of Russia.

The problem there is that nukes end up harming far more innocents than anyone else.

That's not consolation, that's the reason why they won't nuke us.
