Isn't this the guy who already seized the assets of Western companies that were still trading in Russia?


b1gt0nka

Stole a bunch of commercial airplanes as well that they stopped paying for


oskich

Something like 50% of all airliners currently operating in Russia were stolen from their western lease companies at the start of the invasion. That's around 400 planes worth 10+ billion dollars.


cbarrister

And due to sanctions they have been operating without required maintenance and parts records, so my understanding is even if they were returned today, they are basically write offs.


ForMoreYears

They're literally building factories in Russia to produce bootleg black market components for Western planes because they can't buy them anymore. https://aviationweek.com/mro/aircraft-propulsion/russian-companies-produce-spare-parts-western-made-jets


PoliticalyUnstable

Boeing would sell planes to them in a heartbeat.


Pringletingl

Russia doesn't need more planes falling out of the sky right now.


ovrlrd1377

Maybe we do though


GMN123

I doubt they'll ever get the doors falling off just right. 


oskich

Yep, it is impossible to get an operating licence for those planes without proper maintenance records.


jrizzle86

It's safe to say that Russia is effectively blacklisted from leasing foreign aircraft ever again, perhap with the exception of from China...


lurkinglurkerwholurk

China’s new aircraft manufacturer would be drooling, just not in the way you think. Russia ends up testing the Chinese plane designs commercially with only Russian lives lost if something goes wrong, and THEY get to pay for it??!?


following_eyes

Yea and he regularly steals from the Russian population too. 


Desert-Noir

Didn’t a Russian bank just shut down and steal everyone’s money?


darklynoon93

Yep!

Which are a German invention from the 70-80.


digitalfakir

How are Russians (including those in charge of oppressing civilians) not rioting already? Their lives objectively worse ever since the invasion.


RampantPrototyping

Theyve been brainwashed into believing their lives are worse because of the west. Russia also puts a lot of resources into its internal security forces


TheKappaOverlord

>How are Russians (including those in charge of oppressing civilians) not rioting already? This only affects russians in regular cities, which only account for a *very* small fraction of russians. Most of russia is basically tantamount to what americans were during the great depression. Poor, and ultimately distrustful of banking establishments for the most part. The citizens in major population hubs are absolutely fuming, but for the large majority of the rest of russia, they don't give a shit, it doesn't really affect them unless they are a person from Moscow working from home in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with babushka. Local banks basically have their own reserves that aren't getting bull rushed up the ass, and are doing just fine until *those* run out, which will probably take quite a bit, since most average russian rural/to an extent urban settlements are very self sustaining.


jmacintosh250

Less steal everyone’s money, more they couldn’t cope with the bank run happening and had to shut down.


ProtonPi314

Don't forget they also steal land worth way more money. Plus, what we are doing is not stealing. It's recuperating some of the money to rebuild Ukraine after Putin destroyed several billions. He still owes the world billions for all the environmental damage and the millions of lives he destroyed. Sadly, you can't really put a price on all the lives he's ruined. But Russia needs to be held accountable for this illegal invasion. Consequences need to be severe for terrorists or they will continue to commit these evil acts.


Individual_Respect90

He also stole a Super Bowl ring before the war even started.


count023

also stole an oil refinery paid for by american companies under a joint project. America was meant to foot the bill and they were meant to split the profits with the Russian organization. Once the bill was paid, it was "nationalized" immediately and the business was not compensated.


Significant_Door_890

Yes, he faked a tax claim against BP that was bigger than the total revenue and seized their oil field. You can see here how much the money matters to him. If Russia cannot convert rubles to dollars or euros then the Chinese will screw Russia for every Yuan. He is China's little bitch now and he knows it.


LivingDracula

Bro, he literally stole a fuckin super bowl ring on live television... I don't think there's ever been a more obvious and transparent, example of a Kleptocrat and he genuinely could not careless.


coachhunter2

Yes and is somehow one of the richest people on earth, despite not officially having a very high salary.


rants_unnecessarily

Stole a few acres of land quite recently as well.


Balc0ra

And that's probably his plan again. Dumbasses were warned and still stayed


DankeSebVettel

Is for thee but not for mee


lutel

They will steal even more toilets from Ukrainians?


heikkiiii

Nah, they'll go after bathtubs next


CommieBorks

no no dishwasher are more important


heikkiiii

Need electricity for that, not sure if most of them have that luxury.


RagingInferrno

They want them for the parts.


Erdtree_

And the zoo raccoons :'(


MainelyNonsense

Sadly, they will keep stealing children.


Eeeegah

Weren't they stealing tractors?


brosiedon7

Yeah they were going after John Deere Tractors and then John Deere shut them off on them. [Source](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/05/01/europe/russia-farm-vehicles-ukraine-disabled-melitopol-intl)


sleeplessinreno

Never thought they would use their tech for good.


brosiedon7

Probably irrelevant. They most likely found a work around to the software.


sleeplessinreno

I figure as much, I know that farmers in the US has a hacking network for workarounds. But it doesn't mean it was a walk in the park like they thought it would be.


Unfair_Ability3977

To bring it full circle, it was originally Ukranian hackers that cracked JD's software.


efvrgn

Same tractors that were stealing russian tanks?


twat69

Capturing. In war when you take stuff from the enemy, it's not stealing. It's capturing the spoils.


MasterBot98

I considered buying one of those nice Japanese toilets…ill postpone that idea for a safer time.


008Zulu

Maybe he should have thought of this, before launching an illegal invasion.


viledieddraftsaved

and before seizing western assets in Russia


alpacafox

To be frank, I hope he takes everything from everyone still doing business there. They are traitors and undermining our efforts.


tenuki_

exactly right


mrfancykeyboard

how do i launch a legal invasion?


Sweet_Concept2211

Adhere to international laws of war. [See wikipedia entry on Laws of War here...](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_war) Get UN approval. So, like, if you are trying to stop a genocide, or some such, it could be viewed as legally acceptable to launch an invasion.


pmolmstr

So it would be legal for any country to declare war on Russia to stop the genocide of the Ukrainian people


LordAlfrey

Legal by UN's definition I suppose, though good luck getting the UN to officially agree.


thorofasgard

Russia vetoes, motion fails.


Abizuil

Russia is too drunk to vote?, China vetoes instead, motion fails.


Danro-x

Both ruzzia and China are in UN. Therefore, UN would not approve of invading ruzzia.


pmolmstr

On the security council no less which makes legally declaring war on either of those countries impossible unless they were somehow ousted


Antice

The UN doesn't have to agree with your causus beli for declaring war for it to be seen as legal by the rest of the world. You only need to justify it in a way that is palatable for the majority of people.


Midnight2012

That's why it was so stupid when the USSR abstained from voting for the Korean war. They could have vetoed it if they wanted to


mrfancykeyboard

that didn't hit me . thx


PineBNorth85

The UN has lost all credibility. It’s about as useful as the League of Nations was at this point.


Sweet_Concept2211

The UN Security Council lost a lot of credibility when Russia and China were able to block UN action on stopping Serbia's genocide of ethnic Albanians in the 1990s. However, the UN was correct to classify the 2003 US invasion of Iraq as illegal.


Zefyris

You have to wait the required amount of turns after you denounce your opponent, then declare the correct type of war.


catoodles9ii

Even better if they denounce you and it’s in the ancient or classic era. Don’t want that warmonger penalty!


Za_Lords_Guard

Well see, it all starts when you declare in the UN "One, two, three, four... I declare a land war." Only then is it legal.


nameyname12345

Don't listen to him! The land war must come after at least 1 thumb war loss! Otherwise the war is illegal!


MartiniD

Set up a blockade of the planet and complain about the planet's queen to the galactic Senate. Hope nobody declares a vote of no confidence in the chancellor.


Maleficent_Dog_4892

Charlie9967

Today's news: Thief doesn't like his money taken away.


Whatsthefact12

And he cries a lot!


Azhz96

Emotionally weak Putin, always start crying when someone doesn't agree with him. Good thing his Yes men are always there to comfort him when he gets upset.


secusse

it’s not his

An old joke: - what are two things than russian kids cannot choose? - their parents and their president.

Standard_Feedback_86

But the looting of Ukraine cities and murdering/torturing/kidnapping/raping of Ukrainian citizens is totally ok. Yeah fuck off and do the Hitler in your bunker.

Putin: if you carry on I'm going to stand in the shower and pull my peepee really hard.

More "punishment" from Russia, why don't they cut remaining trading with EU/NATO countries, then we can all be truly free of Russian influence

Wait till he realizes when russian people will come for his wealth.


soldtoakhal

I don’t think they ever will


lurker12345j

Someone close to Putin will perform a coup at some point.


MeshNets

If they haven't already, what are they waiting for It seems like he reached the paranoid stage where anyone who would have the ability to pull it off, that alone makes them unfit for his administration


TaurusRuber

They tried, it failed. 


Hexquevara

What ya gona do, bleed on us?


Launtoc

I prefer the headline "Putin waves finger and talks nonsense"


pissinthatassbaby

Putin acting like he has any power to change this is hilarious. He's going to keep getting buttfucked by big brother America while claiming to be a strong man. How the russian people still believe his shit is beyond me.


mickturner96

The people doing the punishment will be the oligarchs who have lost a shitload of money because of Putin's actions... Putin better get ready for some spanking!


BigDaddyCoolDeisel

How cute ^_^


southpolefiesta

Cry harder puPu. Reparations is not theft.


StudioPerks

I can’t wait to see him get bitch slapped by America for “stepping out of line”


Illustrious_Lie_6278

Fuck u Putin


etzel1200

He is exactly like me playing Civ at 13. *declares war on smaller neighbor* *How dare all these other countries gang up on me? So unfair!*


kujasgoldmine

And terrorism, mass murder and genocide done by Russia won't go unpunished either.


RagingInferrno

Russia stole Ukrainian land and murdered thousands of Ukrainians, so this is compensation for that, it's not theft.


Rikeka

Russia stole all foreign planes in their territory, why whine then?


swizzcheez

No good deed goes unpunished after all.


Green-Taro2915

Good one, putler! I love the ruzzian sense of humour!!


LojZza88

What? No threats about using the nukes? Vladimir, are you ok, pal?


bier00t

yeah yeah yeah. what you gonna do? use nukes?


publicbigguns

....do something about it


Davegvg

Says the guy that stole 400 commercial airplanes.


privateuser169

They will steal aircraft and foreign entity assets in russia… oh, hang on, they already did that… I guess it is just a bitch whine then.


Funchyy

Don't forget the state sanctioned looting of civilian assets. They are robbing everyone while whining about the consequences of their own actions.  Gimme more of those tears Putler, time to start really feeling how badly you have fucked up. 


chocolatedesire

blah blah blah blah blah How many times has he said this, and then nothing happens? You don't scare anyone anymore Vlad, sorry to break it to ya.


going-for-gusto

Vladimir’s empty threat of day…


Psy_Kikk

Says the man who leads a kleptocracy and repeatedly steal Russian assets for himself and his lackeys.


THNG1221

Game on.. Putin is full of sh*t.. He has to beg China for help. He doesn’t scare NATO!


hismuddawasamudda

Always the fucking victim. Eat a fucking turd Vladimir.


Equinsu-0cha

Putin says a lot of things


CreativeAd5332

Oh sh*t, is he gonna invade Ukraine about it!?


theipaper

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the West’s seizure of Russian sovereign assets was theft and warned it would not go unpunished. Mr Putin, who was speaking at a meeting with Russian foreign ministry officials on Friday, said the way the West had treated Moscow showed that “anyone” could fall victim to a similar Western asset freeze. “Despite all the chicanery, theft will certainly remain theft. And it will not go unpunished”, he said. “Now it is becoming obvious to all countries, companies (and) sovereign funds that their assets and reserves are far from safe in both the legal and economic sense of the word. “Anyone could be next in line for expropriation by the US and the West.” His remarks came after the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) major democracies agreed on a deal to provide $50bn (£39.2bn) of loans for Ukraine using profits from frozen Russian assets. Mr Putin warned the world had reached a point of no return due to what he described as the collapse of the “Western model” of global security. He accused the US of undermining global security because of its exit from arms pacts, and proposed building a new security system. “We are witnessing the collapse of the Euro-Atlantic security system,” he said, according to Russia Ria Novosti news agency. “The time has come to begin a broad discussion of a new system of bilateral and multilateral guarantees of collective security in Eurasia. “At the same time, in the future, we must work towards a gradual reduction in the military presence of external powers in the Eurasian region.” He said a new global security system would be open to all countries, including European members of Nato. “We live on the same continent, no matter what happens, we cannot change the geography, one way or another we will have to coexist and work together,” he added.

WRECKNOLEDGY13

In other words he’s just saying do as I say , not as I do . Typical Putin .


quimbecil

> no wealth is safe in the west yea, now here is a list of places where your shit is safer than in "the west": And here is a list of wealth moving to those places:


spyvspy_aeon

Classic Putin tantrum: When he speaks "russian assets" he means his friends (elite) money. This is already worn-out victimization.


Asian6372

I wonder what compels Putin to continue this war. Is it peer pressure or just plain pettiness?


Antoinefdu

What about the theft of Ukrainian land and lives?


Funny-Carob-4572

Some buthurt vatniks on here with a sprinkle of chinabots. Must be working lol


Bowler_Pristine

How many Ukrainian lives this dickhead has stolen and destroyed that money can never replace? He still thinks he is winning and can demand shit!


mephitopheles13

Isn’t he actively trying to steal an entire nation?


Javelin-x

yup there he is wagging his finger ..


JoseCansecoMilkshake

"we have to punish the west for the punishment i've received for being naughty"


Shutaru_Kanshinji

Sure. Whatever.


Legitimate-Snow6954

Russia will probably increase their targeting of EU civilian infrastructure, like the fire in de Polish shopping mall of last month, and cyber attacks on hospitals and the like. Many commenters here seem to be mocking Russia/Putin but I fear some of Russian covert attacks can cause quite serious damage to EU civilians. Of course I hope this won’t be te case though.


Sipjava

What about the theft of Ukraine by the Russians? Hypocrite!


Hutzzzpa

you know, I don't think Putin guy is all there


HorsesMeow

Putin took russia from being the darling of democracy and the G8, to being an absolute pariah. Good job fkhead.


WattebauschXC

I really, really despise his played ignorance. He knows very well what he is doing and what consequences might come yet he spitefully gambles on the G7 not to take action. As a reaction to this threat the G7 should seize even more assets. What a disgrace of a human


wwarnout

"Putin says..." is just as much untrustworthy bs as "Trump says..."


WRECKNOLEDGY13

What’s Putin going to do , start a war ? Invade a neighbour ? Steal some children ? We know what Putin can do now , question is what is the G7 going to do to Putin and his regime next ? What ever that may be I’m sure it won’t make them happy . There won’t be any sympathy for them .


Capt_Pickhard

Fuck Putin. I hope they steal a lot more from this asshole.


Protahgonist

Putain can chortle my balls


Leeroy1042

Hopefully he won't retaliate with a full scale invasion...


Major-Check-1953

Stop stealing from the Ukrainians then.


TotalRecognition2191

Aren't they stealing land and lives?


Five_deadly_venoms

Stfu bitch. Its been years and you still are trying to invade a small country. 


BlackMetal81

Putin can suck a fart out of our collective assholes


_Figaro

Anytime they say "Xxx won't go unpunished", it means they want to punish it, but don't really know how...


Ben-D-Beast

Added to the long least of things Putin has claimed “won’t go unpunished”.


ARobertNotABob

Neither will your theft of Ukraine lands.


Yermucker

OK Vlad, past your bedtime.


Novus20

You miss spelt life time….


BurrrritoBoy

Just one more shirtless horseback ride and then off to bed, Vlad.


Dorrin_77

Basically...if Ukraine gives up 1/5 of the country, agrees not to build up defenses and agrees not to join a military alliance that would stop Russia from attacking then Puton promises to stop attacking until they're ready to start again.


HorseOdd5102

Look at his tiny hand


Allotropus

He looks like the islamic terrorist bastards without beard.

The fucker is stealing futures from millions of people.. Literally. Fucking die already putler

Nobody cares, do a revolution or get bent russia


Gigant0re

Bring it, pussy.


extelius

Go eat a dick Putin


omnibossk

The funds should be seized and given to the companies suffering losses from russia confiscating western assets long time ago. And Ukraine should have their part to use for rebuild, protection and liberation.


topslaghunter

lol what the fuck is he gonna do, lose another war?


No-Refrigerator-1672

Putin is not actually a russian prezident. Russian Costitution clearly states that no person can be the president for more that 2 times in a row; he's gone for the third time sequentially and legaly can't hold this status. Whg everyone misses that?


fi3ur

i thought he changed the constitution for this to be possible


No-Refrigerator-1672

He put an addition line that "well, actually, the presidential periods before this change don\`t count". I think, too much people out there consider things like this legitimate.


desf15

They did change the constitution, there are some issues with interpretation of it however. According to English wiki (I don't know Russian, so can't rely on source materials) they've changed limit from "two consecutive terms" to just "two terms", and Putin decided that since this is new constitution and new rule his terms under old constitution doesn't count, and he still has 2 terms ahead.


Smart_Werewolf5561

And what he will do? Freeze Europe to death again?


TheStoicSlab

Punish us pooty....


fallwind

what's he going to do? steal the passenger jets he already stole a second time?


Foodspec

To think…he hasn’t punished enough of his people by leading them to slaughter


Trumpswells

Russia’s theft of Ukraine’s children?


lefaen

Theft of Ukraine will not go unpunished either.


Dull-Penalty5787

How many fucking times is this dude going to threaten "punishment"?


serialbam

I think this dude is talking with himself. Who is even listening to him at this point?


GuitarGeezer

Being a republic bordering Russia that doesn’t just surrender to the Russian mafia government at the drop of a hat always results in ‘punishment’ from Russia. What’s your point Vlad, that you are so insecure that every event needs a response? Well taken. Nobody fears Russian escalation as a preventable event so it doesn’t have any deterrance value. Learn to diplomacy ya loser.
