LOL Harry Potter feels like reality comparing to this trash. Only triple boosted idiot would believe this crap and repost it
Didn't Putin and his cronies tell us the Europeans would be freezing and starving this winter? Well the reality is that the Russians are freezing and starving this winter. And it is only going to get worse for the Russians as their entire economy sinks as their oil is fetching a mere $34 per barrel at best. The Russian future involves the dissolution of the Russian Federation. Regions are openly plotting their plans to split from Russia. This will lead to civil strife, internal armed conflict, and further starvation and economic deterioration in Russia. After Russia loses the Ukraine war there will be large numbers of disillusioned, armed men returning to the oppressed regions who want nothing to do with Moscow. At this point the dissolution of Russian Federation will be put into full gear; instead of underlying discontent it will be open revolt. China will be glad to pour money into fomenting the revolts in the eastern regions to move things along.
The kickoff of the process to transfer Russia's frozen assets to Ukraine has kicked off. Soon to be a world-wide phenomenon.

The confiscation protocol Estonia has announced it is going to transfer Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine. Let’s see if this is possible to do and should we expect such actions from the rest of the EU https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2023/01/19/the-confiscation-protocol-en
The Europeans can do what they will, but any Russian assets transferred by the Americans needs to be pursuant to American and International Law. With due process provided to the oligarch defendant by and through his counsel.
Russia can't even keep it's stolen leased commercial planes in the air. "Cannibalization" is no longer a term which solely applies to survivors of air crashes.

One of Putin's key objectives of attacking Ukraine was to seize the mines, steel mills, oil & gas, and manufacturing industries. Recently this has been further highlighted with documents showing Putin's plans to hand out Ukrainian assets to his favored oligarchs. The reality is that Putin failed to seize the industries in Ukraine and now, due to sanctions, Russia is an economic basket case.
