seems like legitimizing the outright theft of foreign assets is going to give billionaires around the world some second thoughts about the security of their dollars held in u.s. banks
This really only applies to adversary nations, specifically those committing war crimes.
Are you really complaining about Russian oligarch billionaires having their foreign assets seized? Whatever happened to 'eat the rich'? 🤣
i wasn't complaining no, more of a 
"Unlock" aka just steal like we did Afghanistan's emergency fund. Well, if the US government wants to speedrun de-dollarization by demonstrating to the world why you shouldn't bank with them, I'm not gonna interrupt them while they do it.
*Nationalizing & Reallocating
Pretty sure there's a word for reallocating someone else's shit without their permission.
Might as well have that over to some us ghouls in exchange for some old-new-stock weapons that will only prolong the suffering of ukrainians
unlock billions in frozen Russian assets "Ah they're finally returning what they've stole-" for Ukraine

New TrueAnon Rule: Never entrust the US Treasury with more than you can afford to lose.
Well EU is not far behind. But yes, if you damage country by attacking it and literally erasing towns in it, and capturing territory (the one you guaranteed to preserve and even defend by previous agreements), expect to pay.
Wait, are you telling me US will be paying reparations to all the countries it bombed to the ground? Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, Afghanistan, Iraq, just to name a few?
Which territory US captured or wanted to capture?
Especially when invading your neighbouring countries.
It's true, I still remember when the rest of the world put those heavy sanctions on us for our barbaric and genocidal invasion of Iraq. It was tough, but that was the day I learned that international law is definitely a real thing.
"The Russians were surprised when, right after the war started, the Europeans took the exact same measures as the United States, freezing all of the reserves that were there, and the Japanese did the same, which is why most of Russia’s reserves today are frozen in Western banks"
