Putin: 'Theft' Of $300BN in Frozen Assets A 'Price Worth Paying' To Break West's Grip On Global Finance

In somewhat surprising statements and what can be viewed as a very frank 'concession', President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is "ready" to part with its $300 billion in frozen assets, framing it as a another way which accelerates Russia's and its allies' shift away from Western-dominated financial systems.

"A significant amount of Russian gold and currency assets is frozen in Western banks. They keep telling us they intend to steal our money," Putin said before the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) summit in Minsk on Thursday.

If the West does simply take the funds in the end, it would create an "irreversible trend toward the regionalization of payment systems" - and this in the long run would benefit the global economy.

However sloppy it is, in working...decentralization ALWAYS is a better alternative to central control of money, finance, laws, regulations...et cetera.

The United States was created to defeat the central-control monolith of London and the King. The power wasn't global; that was impossible in those days; but just the limited control of an empire, invited abuse and corruption.

Now the whole world reeks of the rot of the fiat-dollar and Washington's madness.

Is Russia an alternative? If so, for how long? That doesn't matter, as far as history is concerned. What matters is that right now it's a better way, now that the fembots and crazed Leftists have weaponized the dollar, as they've weaponized so much else.
