> just OK to seize private property of individuals Yes, it's a war. Deal with it If they have a problem they can take it up with their boss. > to this is getting pretty fucking scary I believe there are kids in Ukraine who are legitimately scared. Getting your megayacht confiscated is just a first world problem.

>Yes, it's a war. Deal with it The countries doing the seizing aren't at war with Russia and seem adamant about currently not being at war.

  And one of the ways they're trying to keep from joining and turning it in to ww3 is confiscating the opponent's rich people's toys.

  Russia itself is adamant about not being at war. It's a "special operation", remember? We're trying really hard to toe the line in order not to start a third world war. But we are at war. We're sending aid and weapons every day by the megatons to Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting on our behalf, so that nuclear escalation does not happen. But as far as Russia is concerned, we are at war, and in fact Putin himself said that the various sanctions and such are "acts of war", even if he hasn't acted on it (yet).

  Hostility against Russians have nothing to do with sanction and everything to do with what the Russian government is doing. You might pretend otherwise but that's not how it works The clinic has reversed their position by the way
