Russia threatens to confiscate U.S. assets.

[Spata]

"The Kremlin is threatening to hit back if Western nations impose sanctions against Russia over its actions in Ukraine"




But such measures may not only hurt Russia. In a tit-for-tat move, Russian lawmakers are drafting a law that would allow Russia to confiscate assets belonging to U.S. and European companies if sanctions are slapped on Moscow, Russian state media reported.

The diplomatic maneuvers come as world leaders meet in Paris for talks that were intended to focus on Lebanon. Instead, Ukraine will likely dominate the agenda.

The chairman of the upper house committee for constitutional law, Andrey Klishas, is sure that Russia must have an enough leverage to deal with the threat of sanctions coming from foreign countries.A team of lawyers are currently preparing a separate federal bill that would allow the Russian president and government to confiscate foreign owned property in Russia, including assets belonging to private companies, the senator told the RIA Novosti news agency.*

Maybe Obama will fix things by drawing one of his lines in the sand. And then another. And then another.

So if Russia continues to pay now, what will they do in the near future when the US sells Keystone Pipeline oil to EU for less than what they're paying for Commie grease?

That oil you speak of comes from Canada. They can see Russia from their northern shore and the missiles pointed at them.

CHINA THREATENS U.S. OVER UKRAINE; TELLS AMERICA TO CHANGE ITS POSITION ON UKRAINE OR CHINA WILL DEMAND REPAYMENT OF U.S. DEBT IN GOLD!

March 3, 2014 -- (TRN) -- According to "La Republica" newspaper in Spain, the Chinese government took three stunning actions today against the United States:

China told the U.S. State Department that unless the U.S. changes its position on the situation in the Ukraine, China will demand repayment of U.S. debts in GOLD, and;
China allegedly came to an agreement with Turkey to prohibit NATO vessels from entering the Black Sea via Istanbul's Bosporus Strait, AND;
China made clear it will use its Veto power in the UN Security Council to block any UN action against Russia.



This information is not being reported in U.S. media for fear Americans would react angrily toward China and immediately boycott all goods made in China, which would wreck the Chinese economy within weeks.



Turkey maintains absolute control over the Strait at Bosporus pursuant to the Montreux Convention Regarding Regime of the Straits , and does have the legal right to prevent warships from non-Black Sea countries from passing into the Black Sea.

At some point we're going to have to pay the piper! House of cards crumbles, and the commies will have to come and try to collect.

The "commies" (and socialists) are already collecting. The US is being sucked dry and Joe Six Pack doesn't have the ability to see it as he buys into the entire "evil empire" mantra and wants to go kick Russian ass. Putin (Orthodox Christian) is hated by the parasites as he and his people have decided that they've had enough dealing of the parasites for the past 100+ years. The USG is a willing tool of those whose father is the devil. To me, it's all very amuzing...

The US is heavily invested in Russia, and Putin has plenty of assets to freeze, if it comes to tit for tat.

Why can't we just stay out of these foreign adventures? I don't see the Russkies telling us we better give back Texas. I would really like to know what Ron Paul's opinion about this mess is, that we are getting ourselves into, yet again. Just let the Europeans and Russians be themselves. We don't need to get mixed up in this ****.
