   Is this as big of a deal as it seems?

     @CoQ_10 @Leadmaus @Shlomo @judgedread ZOG stole 200 billion plus from Russia and I hope they carve it back with interest, 500 million is a rounding error

     @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.
     Kenny Blankenship repeated this.

     @Leadmaus @Shlomo @judgedread Half a billion dollars isn't really a big deal to the Morgue. They may kick and scream but at the end of the day as long as the US dollar is still the reserve currency they will just suck it up

     @TrevorGoodchild @Leadmaus @Shlomo @judgedread That's what, about 1.5% of the amount of frozen Russian assets?
     JP Morgan can find that much under the couch cushions.

     @doonxib @Shlomo @TrevorGoodchild @CoQ_10 @Leadmaus @judgedread The only thing I know of in my industry is that the russkies are holding on to a whole lot of expensive aircraft. It's the norm for LCCs to just lease narrowbody jets from international companies, and when the ties all broke they ended up claiming everything that was marooned there by its owners.

     It's cool for russia....for now. Unfortunately they're needy beasts, and it's been up in the air whether or not there's enough support for Boeing and Airbus stuff already residing in russia. The consensus at first was negative, as it always is in the propaganda machine, but I think they've got a decent shot with the chinks and iranians helping them out. They managed to keep the neediest fighter in our military history going for decades longer than we did - whether they did it by spycraft, sanctions evasion, or homegrown ingenuity

     @Shlomo @TrevorGoodchild @CoQ_10 @Leadmaus @judgedread See, I have no idea what this actually means in terms of existing assets. It sounds stupid to say, "lots of stuff." But, that's what it really boils down to in the end. Is this counties worth of holdings? Cities? Countries? Who knows. Is it valued through inflation speculative arm chair horseshit on assets that can never be legally traded so that it's value is impossible to determine? Who knows.
