The precedent would be that it’s ok for the government to usurp your assets if they choose to. I don’t think that’s a good precedent.

In response to a war or genocide. It’s a good precedent; it’s not that different from the usual economic sanctions.

i would be against usurpment - freezing is the most that should be allowed. Otherwise, it's too easy to justify theft, and next time it might not be some despotic dictator, but citizens.

So? It’s citizens’ responsibility to get rid of dictators. It’s also their shared responsibility for what their country is doing.

A weapon should not be judged on what the most good it could do, but on what the most evil it could accomplish.

It might look good on paper to do this to Russia, but I think it's the first domino on a path to widespread international kleptocracy.

I want to savor a comment by "antifa" warning that we are on a slippery slope to the breakdown of property rights worldwide.

You know what ELSE could be the first domino on a path to widespread international kleptocracy? Stealing whole countries with impunity.

Well not the first domino. One of the middle dominoes.
