Would the UK Government be prepared to confiscate private properties in London and freeze all Russian financial assets?
How about expropriating Abrahmovich's ownership of Chelsea - seizing his yacht?
How about stealing every single piece of Russian owned property, assets and roubles in our respective countries?
And on top of that - entirely locking them out of the Western Financial System?
As I said earlier - I'd be prepared to pay higher taxes and prices.
I concur absolutely. Unfortunately the world of finance and the cabal of international banksters is totally immune to moral considerations. After almost bringing down the entire world economy due to untrammeled greed, these people suffered no significant consequences. What chance is there of such a crackdown?
