Frget about SWIFT. Why does the West not seize the assets of Putin's friends and family members? Why don't they cancel the citizenship or residence permit for anyone who has something to do with Putin and his gang? All these kids, grandkids, nephews, etc. of the Russian elite.
- DevKoala 5y agoBecause the west is dependent on Russian oil.
- hiavraham 5y agoI apologise if I am too direct, but cannot help it, but say, that these are extremist ideas. Why should relatives or friends be held responsible for actions that are not theirs. In my former communist nation, if one person went against party line their entire family would be prosecuted. The statements you made are unfortunately not hard to find being drawn in the minds of many, however, they are a bitter memory for those who have lived in times when this kind of thought prevailed. The past should serve as a teacher. Unless there is actual proof of their wrong-doing they are innocent until proven guilty, and as such merit the same treatment as anyone else.
- sAbakumoff 5y agoI am sorry if I am being too direct, but the very inability to impose strict measures on Putin's gang is the reason he doesn't hesitate to do what he does. If anything, if we seize the Russian elite money, then they might be willing to overthrow Putin's regime in exchange for getting their resources back. These are not extremist ideas, this is a pretty reasonable MO. Unfortunately, no one in the West has the stamina to do that.
