Asset seizures have begun over Russia's refusal to pay a $50 billion fine for corrupt bullshit pract - Polidicks

[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-33197782[/url] [quote]Russia has protested to the Belgian ambassador over the seizure of Russian state assets in Belgium - a move triggered by a court ruling over the now-defunct Yukos oil firm. The ambassador was told that the asset seizure was "an openly hostile act" that "crudely violates the recognised norms of international law". Last year a court told Russia to pay Yukos shareholders $50bn (£32bn) in compensation, after Yukos's break-up. A Russian state firm took over Yukos.[/quote] [url]http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jun/19/russia-warns-it-will-retaliate-after-assets-seized-in-yukos-case[/url] [quote]Moscow has warned that state-linked foreign firms in Russia could be targeted in retaliation for the freezing of Russian official assets in western•Europe•over legal claims from former Yukos shareholders. Russian officials said state accounts were frozen in•Belgium, and representatives of claimants from the defunct oil firm claimed state assets were also blocked in France.

Wow, Russia is actually suffering consequences from them annexing an entire company for their state regime. Tomorrow there will be flying pigs and Israel will recognize Palestine as a country.

Now can we do that to the uranium company in the US that they agreed not to buy our and nationalise but did anyways?

[QUOTE=wraithcat;48011358]Actually they aren't suffering consequences due to crimea. At least not in this case.[/QUOTE] well no shit they're suffering consequences for stealing an entire company and making it state owned. Literally Nazi Germany tier stuff.
