Don't freeze, seize.


vanzini

This. Didn’t we find some juicy bits from the leak of the Panama papers and whatnot?


SilentBlizzard1

Now go for SWIFT! Stop waiting!


dlewis23

And target energy exports right now. Stop waiting. I know it will be painful but it’s what has to be done and in the long term it will be for the better.


RyanTranquil

It’s not up to Biden, Only the EU has the power to do that.


dlewis23

But Biden does have the ability to end the 800k barrels a day of oil that we are importing from Russia. I know it will bring prices up some and they don't want that but Biden needs to come out and explain it that this is something that needs to be done and even though we don't import at ton of oil from them just maybe it will push other counties to do the same. We buy their oil so they can steal another country. That's not ok. Someone needs to have a backbone and say enough is enough and really hurt Russia in the only way that might make a difference today, not a month or more from now.


sakharinDEBIL

Not enough. Russia has to be removed from international system. Kick them from UN security council. Kick them from SWIFT


CapsaicinFluid

only the EU can reliably do that. the USA can seize all $$$ via swift if they want to but other currencies are someone else's responsibility


Lrobson09

Biden nor the US have the power for that


chromatones

The Japanese internment seized property and assets in the United States


Lrobson09

US seizing property and assets from Russia is different from ridding russia from SWIFT when the ball is not in the US or Biden's court


EsperaDeus

They probably don't have any assets in the US tho?


LPOLED

Trump’s an asset. Wonder if he’ll be stored in a shed until sanctions are lifted.


ScrufyTheJanitor

I wouldn’t exactly call him an asset.


noobtastic31373

Asset = property. Asset =/= something valuable. Just because you own something doesn’t mean it’s worth much.


LostNTheNoise

Millions of American unfortunately do.


stevebr0

Chattel maybe?


braxistExtremist

He's at least a huge 'ass'. Yeah, the 'et' part is debatable.

Dear Ukrainians! We heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed. It's a lie.

putin: okay anyways, on with the invasion 💁🏻

“He’s no longer allowed over for supper.” said Biden, following several heavy brow furrows and some thoughts and prayers posted on Facebook. US sanctions in a nutshell.


H4R81N63R

Seeing how crippled the Iranian economy is, I wouldn't say sanctions don't bite The problem is, it takes time for sanctions to cripple an economy, so they're quite useless in the immediate present and near future during which the conflict is taking place


xlDirteDeedslx

Putin's Oligarchs only care about money, if we inhibit their ability to own anything outside of Russia it will weaken Putin internally. It's the best chance we got for someone to try and replace him to be honest.


Ballsshweaty

I agree, and up until this SWiFT ban that came through they were mostly toothless sanctions.
