From chasing down yachts in the ocean to seizing Italian villas, the global effort to punish Russian oligarchs for their financial ties to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has been unprecedented. The U.S. has even arranged its own special task force within the Department of Justice to seize the assets of the oligarchs who try to evade sanctions. It’s unclear, however, whether even Russia’s most elite hold enough sway over Putin to prompt an end to the country’s ongoing barrage against Ukraine. Watch the video above to find out how the Russia’s oligarchs came to power, and whether global sanctions against the billionaires could help bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

    Sometimes they mistake sanctions for robbery. Robbing private properties in the name of sanction. They should be ashamed of themselves
  • @matthewhibbs6098
    Unless these governments have a legitimate reason to seize the property of these individuals, all were doing is giving up more freedom by turning a blind eye to what they're doing. If they're in default on the loans, or have been charged with a crime, i for one am against this type of retaliation. From what it sounds like, this is basically "We don't like where you're from, and who you're friends with, so we're taking your wealth".

    Think about this. Are all these billionares delinquent? If so, it means that the U.S knew and was happy to let them do business world-wide, or at least they should have informed all those yacht companies. Those billions of dollars in U.S. banks were ill begotten. (Supposedly by Russians) And the U.S. knew and was happy to take that money.
  • @6pistons
    The US has their own Oligarchs as well
  • @Jax_1
    Let's not forget the local crooks please! Amrican oligarchs by the 1000's in America too.
  • @STREETFOODJOURNEY5
    its interesting to see when you use OLIGARCHS for Russians but use BILLIONAIRE for Americans 🤷
  • @tonyybandz
    Imagine when a country come over here and do what we trying to do to them .
  • @davec8921
    Dangerous territory when you start seizing assets based on someone's nationality
  • @tshirtnjeans4829
    I would not feel safe living in the mansion seized from an angry oligarch
  • @funnyguyinlondon
    American totalitarianism. Where's the respect for property rights? We can't bend the rules for whims and not expect unintended consequences in future
  • @jeremiasrobinson
    Good! Next, also go after the yachts and mansions of all the other oligarchs, including the ones in the US.
  • @fg4peace
    How come we don't use the term "oligarchs" for billionaires in the west especially those who are evading taxes through loopholes.
  • @ZenochkaGaming

  • @jarednovel
