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. "I think it is probably worth paying for," Putin mused, while further describing the Moscow aims to strengthen its own financial settlement systems with "friendly states."

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.
 
We'll soon see that here, too.

Because the Elites...WANT the sheeple on narcotics. A drugged population is not a clear-thinking population. They want muddle-headed pawns, easily manipulated. That's why MK-Ultra, and that's why Soros, for 30 years, campaigned to legalize pot and other drugs.

Free Speech, is the opposite. They're not going to allow their serfs to have too much to think.

Do they have a link to a Frontline validation of the Steele Dossier, too?

The Elites are now frantic for war. And they care nothing for honesty.

The Russia we see, today - Carlson's visit, Alex Christoforo's daily news presentation, in Russia for a week now...that's not a militarized prison camp. That's what Europe used to be. People are contented, open with strangers, not fearful.

Nah. It was an interesting vid. I enjoyed watching it.

Probably shouldn't say this but I actually thought something similar could be done here - maybe for high schoolers (as long as they were paid to attend.)

It could be like ROTC, but on a different level and should lead somewhere upon graduation.

I have no problem with youth groups. We used to have them...the Boy Scouts (now the Ladyboi Scouts) and the Girl Scouts. Which have become a tool of a certain demographic...rhymes with "yikes."

I'm not the churchy type, but if I were, I'd be asking the congregation to form a couple of independent youth groups for young congregants. But then, out here, the Left has burrowed in deep...lesbian "ministers," Feel-Good Empowerment churches, basically a race to Virtue-Signal how Progressive they all are.

I'm sure there's a church or two that preaches the Bible; but then, I'm a Deist. The Bible is a good way to better yourself, but, as the message of (Christian) salvation is anti-logical, requires denial of common-sense and intelligence...and four-fifths of the human population never even HEARD it...my take is, the message of the New Testament makes the Higher Power seem to be petty, dogmatic, ritualistic - like a female government clerk.

If what god there is wants to save my soul, he can just do it. Or impart on me the knowledge how - just as a bird knows to fly south; like a dog knows when one of its pack is injured.
 

This is How Russia Hunts Pirates at Sea ─ No Survivors​

The Russian Navy doesn’t arrest pirates — it erases them. In this intense, cinematic breakdown, we reveal the brutal truth behind two of Russia’s most notorious anti-piracy missions: the 2010 Moscow University hostage rescue and the 2021 Gulf of Guinea showdown. From helicopter raids and interrogations to disappearances at sea, this isn’t peacekeeping — it’s fear-based deterrence. Real operations, real consequences — and no mercy.
🔻 Watch till the end to discover leaked testimonies, covert operations, and the secret tactics manual that changed modern anti-piracy forever.

On Navy Day, President Vladimir Putin addressed military personnel via video link to oversee and assess the large-scale operational exercise “July Storm,” involving over 150 ships, 120 aircraft, and more than 15,000 servicemen. The drills, conducted simultaneously in the Pacific, Arctic, Caspian, Baltic, and Black Sea regions, aim to test the Russian Navy’s combat readiness and response capabilities against sea-based threats. Emphasizing the importance of national security and the Navy’s strategic role, Putin announced the reorganization of five marine brigades into divisions, two of which will be completed this year, significantly enhancing the fleet’s strike power.

Any different than our faith in 40-plus-year-old aircraft carriers?

For that matter, we had a few Iowa-class battleships in the Reserve Fleet until just the last decade.

It's always Russia-Russia-Russia. The Euro-Gynocrats and our own kleptocratic Deep State supporters, are just aroused at the idea of taking over Russia and looting the spoils.
