@TrevorGoodchild @CoQ_10 @Leadmaus @Shlomo @judgedread At the scale of what was taken vs the actual holdings it's hard for the average person to grasp physicality when numbers are bandied about like this. Especially in a rapidly deflationary death spiral. But, Russia had much of what was officially theirs illegally taken from them in both the US and European countries. So, now Russia is simply taking what is sitting on their soil in retaliation through nationalization/criminal prosecution for war crimes. I'm not sure how "tight" Russia is when it comes to stuff like this. For example would Putin simply saying, "confiscate this shit" be enough? Or, do they have actual courts and rulings to go through and local community meetings and what not. But, doubtless. Russia will be able to claim back most of the equivalent stolen physical holdings through domestic actions. Even if it comes up short dollar per dollar rated value.
