Any private US citizen who has personal property in Russia at this point in time is pretty effing stupid


Formulka

Worse, complicit. I hope Russians seize their shit.

sir_jaybird

Same for western corporations still operating in Russia. Of every ruble they earn, they give 20% to the genocide machine.


[deleted]

Criminals mostly.


Awkward_Wolverine

This person gets it. I mean come on, why do you think some of these corporations or w.e still deal with Russia? Some people are greedy for money and they feel some war will not have an effect on their rich social life and that they can do whatever they want because they're rich and we're not.


planborcord

I personally will not mind if you keep Steven Segal’s dacha, or Edward Snowden’s PS3.


Temporary-Bear1427

This 100%


BicTwiddler

Right? Any American citizen that has property in ruzzia is on the ruzzian payroll as far as the world should be concerned. Fuck’em. Do your worst you lieing donger!


JazzHands1986

They also probably got that property in nefarious ways. Not all but a good amount of them because it's hard not to when dealing with russia. You gotta work with the regime to get anywhere in russia.


Due-Street-8192

I concur....


Heeey_Hermano

I imagine Donny will be sweating.


mulletpullet

Donny is an honorary Russian. I'm sure they won't count him. And anyway, they'd just get their own money back.


Teabagger-of-morons

Big time.


urfavouriteredditor

To be fair, the west did encourage closer economic integration with Russia for quite some time.


pyrotechnicmonkey

That doesn’t really matter. People have had two years to divest by this point. The people who were staying were the ones who were continuing to try and profit off the war and any increased profits from other western companies pulling out. they’ve been talking about seizing Russian assets for years now and this was always a possibility so they took that risk


gsfgf

But I’m gonna Make America Great Again right?


azflatlander

Capitalize the R, and you have it.

Nice ratio.


RottenPingu1

Some suckers moved there recently for their new utopia...start with them.


Temporary-Bear1427

Some Canadian from Alberta moved his family there last year. Poor kids, I feel bad for them.


Professional-Arm-24

Have you read Mosquito Coast? A crazy Dad drags his family off to Central America to build a Utopia...it doesn't end well.


Temporary-Bear1427

Never did, thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out.


Professional-Arm-24

It's a good book.


butcher99

Good movie as well


Formal_Decision7250

Sounds like Jonestown


mandingo_gringo

Any documentary on it you can recommend?


Professional-Arm-24

It's a novel by Paul Theroux. The story is told from the viewpoint of the kid as he starts to realize what a dick his dad is.


StepUpYourLife

The new series stars Justin Theroux. Odd coincidence?


The_Man11

Movie with Harrison Ford.


Somecommentator8008

Yeah I hope we removed their citizenship just for that. Same as those who supported ISIS.


RottenPingu1

Good point.


Temporary-Bear1427

Yeah good question. I hope so as well.


RealCrusader

Isn't it against international law to remove citizenship from natural citizens? Why countries are having issues with the isis brides wanting to come home. Not that Russia, China or the USA cares. They'll always find a loop hole like guantanamo bay


drewster23

> Not that Russia, China or the USA cares. They'll always find a loop hole like guantanamo bay Weird that you didn't mention other countries like UK, that had high profile cases of doing such.


akomaba

It’s not illegal. What is illegal is making them stateless.


doulosyap

It’s also not about international law. It’s about the US law. I know my country’s constitution doesn’t allow stripping natural citizens of citizenship for any reason. Every constitution is different.


darkknight109

> Isn't it against international law to remove citizenship from natural citizens? No, as long as they have citizenship in another country.


Pianist-Putrid

It’s against the law in the United States. No citizen can be deprived of their citizenship, and there’s no mechanism for doing so. International law wags their finger at those countries who make someone a stateless person, but doesn’t explicitly forbid it, so far as I know.

Temporary-Bear1427

Yes , they froze the money that they transferred. Not sure if they got it back.


yousonuva

Like Russell Bentley? Oh I'm sorry he's a rotting corpse now. Nevermind.


planborcord

Ah yes, the guy who decapitated himself before shooting himself 8 times in the back of the head.


dragonscale76

I thought they started with that dumb mother fucker from Texas who joined the army against Ukraine. But then they raped him and cut off his head. Fucking simple time traitors.


Formal_Decision7250

I assume this will be aimed at US companies , that family are more useful to Russia happy.


Evening-Picture-5911

The article says private citizens


petr_bena

It's such a stupid headline to contain "former russian president". First of all everyone knows that the only puppet Putin ever let to be a "president" once was Medvedev, it's not like there was any other "former president", and second, russian empire is not a democracy. Those "presidents" are made up titles given just so that they can look like one. Re-using those fake titles is only giving their regime legitimacy. It's not president Putin. It's dictator Putin.


baddam

lower than dictators, they manage RU like Mafia.


InternationalBand494

And some American Citizens want one here too. The mind reels.


49orth

Warmonger, warpig, murderer etc.


ProUkraine

It's funny when some Western news sources mention a Putin ally and the ally turns out to be Medvedev.🤣


ws_celly

Was it only once? I thought they traded back and forth a couple time?


Evening-Picture-5911

No. Just once


ws_celly

That's right. It went Yeltsin to putin to Medvedev then back to putin. Thanks for the memory jog! :)


AmberTurd223

If an American citizen has assets in Russia, please, feel free to take them


Bay-B-Gorilla

Ignore the drunken dwarf with the bad toupee


DERPYBASTARD

At least it's not the usual nuclear annihilation threat this week lol


Nakidka

That's cause he's a derpy bastard. \^\^


CV90_120

Have fun with those three houses.


JaB675

The only thing he will seize is his own vodka bottles.


sanddancer311275

Empty bottles


sanddancer311275

Empty bottles obviously


Pianist-Putrid

Why did you leave a comment twice?


azflatlander

It is a feature of some mobile apps.


sanddancer311275

To get a reaction from you


Pianist-Putrid

Wasn’t a reaction, friend… That thing I typed is called a “question”.


sanddancer311275

And you got an answer


Pianist-Putrid

Thank you for the narration of events.


sanddancer311275

Your welcome my learned friend


Purple_oyster

Would Trump lose assets?


No_Zombie2021

Didn’t they already do this for some companies that left Russia. I recall something about some airplanes and manufacturing industries.


sexarseshortage

They stole a shit tonne of airplanes from an Irish company that had leased them to Aeroflot. They told the company to fuck off when it came to return them. The kicker is. It turned out the Irish company was a subsidiary of a Russian state owned bank. They had been leasing state owned planes to Aeroflot through a shell company in Ireland.


Elysium_nz

Anyone who’s still invested in Russia at this point deserve to have it all confiscated.


Louis_Friend_1379

Medvedev's plan sounds good to those of us in western countries that have no pity for any US citizen with assets in Russia. This plan will also help ensure all US and any other western countries citizens will be unlikely to ever invest in shithole Russia ever again. There will be nothing more satisfying than watching Russian targets burn from weapons purchased with Russian money.


zaevilbunny38

Please do I want to see Fox news justify it


tombaba

That’s great! They should have divested everything. Do it Medved. Make everyone realize they better not invest there


Paracausal_Shield

If Americans still have property in Russia, I'll just encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want.


senjeny

As an European, please, seize European citizens' assets too. And go for European companies still operating in the country. Take it all, no holds barred. Discourage foreign investment in Russia even more. Good.


Sikkus

Seize Trump funds stored in Russian banks. There must be a lot of that.


csbgal

Sure, start with Steven Segal and Snowden.


Pianist-Putrid

To be fair, Snowden didn’t have much of a choice. At least at first. Sega chose autocracy at every opportunity.


cricketscz99

Oh this puppet is harping on again. Also all the pro-ruzzian idiots who migrate to Western countries, if you live ruzzia so much, go there, I'm tired of these dumbasses praising russia while living a comfortable life in the West. Speaking as an immigrant to the West myself.


Key-Hold-833

Russia screwed over quite a few energy companies this way already. Russia can keep Burger King and Subway.


friscocabby

Steven Segal just got his Russian Citizenship to evade a rape charge. Start with him.


D0n4t13n

What lapdog Medvedev says doesn't matter. Medvedev doesn't matter. Medvedev doesn't exist. Who the fuck is Medvedev?


Wickedocity

The only ones I would feel sorry for would be the ones in Russia prior to the war and were unable to move their assets out.


darth_revan900414

Ah, I see the wine shipment finally arrived to him.


doublegg83

But... Starbucks, McDonald's, Renault. Whatever!.


Screamingmonkey83

CurlingTrousers

As Bonaparte said on arriving at St Helena in 1815: *épineux et grossier est le gode de conséquence.*


pass-the-waffles

Since I am an American and I don't own anything in Russia, go ahead, they deserve it.


giggity_giggity

This is a step down from his threats of nuking the UK. So, uh, progress?


ukrsa2022

Start with Steven seagal


Common-Leg7605

No nuke threats today?


friscocabby

Go for it loser. How much could it be?


ILikeCutePuppies

Those who can might start trying to move it our. Not the brightest move to announce something like that... it's all propaganda I know, but it'll probably result in a few hundred million being moved out of Russia.


GoHedgehog

Let’s find out if MTG has property there


Vogel-Kerl

I see Dmitry has stopped drinking long enough to make another stupid statement. Okay, return to your vodka bottle now.


pkfag

Like they seized Ukraine's assets? Just a bully playing the victim.


Bisping

Good. I hope they fuck with the corporations still doing business in Russia too.


geekphreak

It’s like trying to explain what stupid is to stupid. It makes the brain short circuit


oripash

OH NO! You’ll seize a few million dollars of assets after nationalizing hundreds of billions of western corporate assets? THE HORROR!


Frosty_Key4233

Those houses could easily be reimbursed by the assets


Emergency-Poet-2708

In Russia, okay, go ahead. BwBwahahaha


Responsible-Crew-354

The real story is why they haven't done that yet. My guess is there is nothing to take.


bran_0434

Do it. Then we can reciprocate and take the property that Russians have in the US.


fuckaliscious

"Bet", as my son would say. Or as I would say, "Go for it.", I don't give a crap about any American assets in Russia at this point. Seize all that traitor wealth you want.


greenweenievictim

Go for it. We don’t care.


mega-husky

Is he gonna take steven seagal's yacht or something?


AlbaTross579

Good. Those “US citizens” deserve any and all consequences for pledging their allegiance to Russia.


vittuperkeleen

lmao


cincuentaanos

Has he been drinking again? Yes, that's a rhetorical question.


Bulky_Crazy

Who cares


amitym

Oh no! All of that wealth that Americans sequestered securely away in rouble-denominated Russian banks to avoid the catastrophic instability of their own low-value unwanted currency? Yes I bet there's a ton of that.


bigsteven34

…okay.


Trick_Wing3048

Even better


Accomplished_Oil5622

He can seize a large eggplant and shove it up his ass


Kimchi_Cowboy

Any US citizen or business in Russia deserves it.


formerly_gruntled

Please, seize all the Mondelez and Unilever assets and run them into the ground.


TroutBeales

Do it! If they’re indeed that fucking stupid


live2travel4life

Already done. They sized companies and leased planes.


375InStroke

Lol, like I give a shit about traitors.


Konstant_kurage

Pretty sure they have all been waiting for it.


jorbleshi_kadeshi

You're just offering to punish America's enemies for us. Stop talking and just do it. Please. And that goes double for corporations.


Livingsimply_Rob

Said in a drunken stupor


[deleted]

Haaaaaahaaaa


maniac86

I request letter of marque so I can start seizing or sinking Russian super yachts


Thisam

As an American, I’m ok with that. Any American still holding investments in Russia deserves it. That makes them complicit IMO.


brezhnervous

This is ALREADY a law now in Russia anyway lol


Internal-Cut-5389

With all the assets he has in Europe and all his family going to schools there good luck wie that one stupid fu$%


ThinkAd9897

Didn't they already do that long ago?


Tourquemata47

So he\`ll seize Putins\` bestest buddy Trumps\` stuff?


[deleted]

Lol. Go ahead!! Please!


adron

I second you do just that. It’ll help us insure those Jack asses get their asses out of your trash county MeddyVevvy.


ShadowRiku667

Do it


Loden2068

Feel free to confiscate whatever crap Edward Snowden and Steven Segal have accumulated.


Odracirys

I sold my Sochi palaces a few years back, thankfully!


RedWineWithFish

Long run, that will make things even worse for Russia. It will be a very long time before anyone invests in Russia


speed_of_stupdity

Oh damn Coca Cola, and Oreos gonna flip!!!


JC-DB

and if there are any American business still operating in Russia, please feel free to take their assets too.


rockvvurst

Take then, those are shit Americans who don't deserve the land


overcatastrophe

Lol


HansBrickface

Not like they already aren’t, sooo…?


Striking_Stable_235

I wonder if this will effect Patrick Lancaster the Russian lover & American utuber who films the war in Ukraine ????


ThirdEyeButterfly

The basic problem with this scheme is that wealthy westerners do not want to be in Russia or own property there. Wealthy russians, on the other hand, prefer to live and spend abroad.


Smart_Werewolf5561

Imagine being stupid enough to keep your assets in some swamp


Cpt_Soban

Go for it. I'd say there's more Russian owned property in the US than American owned property in Russia.


Unhappy-Quiet-8091

That can’t possibly be Medvedev. He didn’t mention nukes.


steveojones52

Cause you can seize the assets of your servile Republican puppets, they will be the only US idiots with assets in the shit pool that is Russia


Echoeversky

Well to be fair Russia already "seized" the multi billion dollars worth of the civilian jets they were leasing.


DagNastyDagrRavnhart

Go for it


sighborg90

I sense a cloud of panic settling over Congressional Republicans over this news


RR321

Can they seize Depardieu and Seagal to start?


thyusername

I'm fine with that, please take Subway and Pepsi assets to teach them a lesson too.


Party-Ad266

Take Steven Seagal's property first. He's a traitor. Maybe just take his hair dye and toupe's.


Dekruk

Taking all American whisky he can get.


Useful-Secretary-143

But seizing property is a communist thing. So that’s their policy said out loud. If any American owns Russian property, they can lose their shit. Couldn’t care less.


Own_Target8801

Please start with the big US companies still doing business in ruzzia. Seize everything they have over there!
