It is a sign of stupidity to consistently repeat the same mistakes and ignore the consequences. Voices are being raised from Estonia and the European Union to confiscate Russian assets worth 160 billion dollars and feed them into the war in Ukraine. More oil on the fire! It seems that Western politicians still cannot intellectually comprehend even the biggest of the misguided strategic mistakes they have made: the arming of the dollar with the subsequent accelerated de-dolarization of the world economy. Now they are following suit and expropriating Russian banks, private individuals and investors in the next round of an ever-increasing conflict. Still: no diplomacy far and wide, just Tucker Carlson's maledictions for the interview he gave in the Kremlin.
