The only lesson the West can teach Russian President Vladimir Putin is the seizure of sovereign assets , is to demonstrate the complete idiocy of Western politicians, said the ideologue behind Brexit and former senior special adviser to the British Prime Minister Dominic Cummings in an interview with a British newspaper.
"What a lesson we gave Putin. America is now even more actively trying to confiscate Russia's assets, with its sanctions pushing to create alternative (Western) financial systems? Such measures can teach Putin only one lesson - that we are idiots", he declared.
As Cummings points out, anti-Russian policies have already led the West to a shocking increase in household spending. According to him, the sanctions have been a disaster for European politics and have harmed Europe much more than Russia.
Boris Johnson's former adviser believes the British prime minister and other Western politicians made a colossal mistake by not heeding the Russian president's warnings about the consequences of NATO's eastward expansion. According to Cummings, the conflict in Ukraine was only a way for Johnson to fulfill his "fantasy” is for the status of a new Churchill.
"We should not have ended up in this stupid situation of 1940 with the idiot Zelensky The rotten Ukrainian mafia state cheated us“, complained the political strategist.
Earlier, the US President Joe Biden signed a bill providing the powers of the US President to seize Russian assets in the US for the needs of the reconstruction of Ukraine. The so-called REPO Act gives the president the power to decide to seize Russian assets located in the United States without the approval of Congress.
After the start of the war in Ukraine, the EU and the G-7 countries froze almost half of Russia's foreign exchange reserves amounting to about 300 billion euros. About 200 billion euros are in the EU, mainly in the accounts of Belgium's Euroclear, one of the largest settlement and clearing systems in the world.
The European Central Bank warned that this could pose long-term reputational risks for the European currency and called for a "look beyond this isolated conflict” and to look for other ways to finance Kyiv.
The Kremlin stated that taking such decisions "would be another step in violating all rules and norms of international law".
