Behind every bank, you will always find a Jhewish shareholder.

So you know for sure your retirement fund is not invested in Russian oil, mining, gas?

Clearly you haven’t met lawyers & doctors!

Do you know that Europe is still buying Russian gas and the US is still buying Russian uranium for its nuclear power plants?

I would also include oil companies shamelessly ripping off people and polluting the planet!

tell us all, that food you brought at the store was it grown with Russian ammonia nitrate? was it transported on a truck using diesel from Ural oil?

It already has been. Look at the immigration policies.

We need more people in the public sphere like Bill, who has a spine.

Bill is great

Not really American s are still buying Russian oil don’t be silly

​@02markcal if he had a spine he would go fight for Ukraine not talk on tv

Their bellies. Big, inflated bellies.

How about the wests military firms making huge money from this war while the Russians have been saying for 20 years that Ukraine being part of a European military alliance would be a cause for war. Why was that a problem?

"Costumes"? Really?

Austrian conservatives (ÖVP) "were" in bed with Russia for decades. Raiffeisen ist very close to ÖVP, so you do the math. We also still get 90% of our gas from Russia.

This man is rather foolish

​@@terryl858on what basis do you make that rather sweeping - and at the moment, totally unfounded - statement? Do astound us with your piercing insights and astute judgement😏

@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 The statement makes no sense, that's why. At best it's obscure, at worst, obtuse. Why would you defend?

@@whatgoesaroundcomesaround920 You are simply full of it. A puppet of Putin.

@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 Most people who make arguments like these do not have a wider perspective. Economics does require some intensity of study, then to add in geopolitics... The OP has no real grasp on the world, but their foolishness has some merit. It is something that could be addressed with political drive and either application of sanctions or further definition of them.

Of course not

There will find other way around anyway.

Do you know that Europe is still buying Russian gas and the US is still buying Russian uranium for its nuclear power plants?

​@@gluteusmaximus1657I guess it was when Western banks started bankrolling the Russians.😂

THEY WILL USE N

YES😮

Germans are at it again.

look at what's its done for the Russian economy...booming business

Name one country that has no double standards and acts hypocritical. There's non.

I think you'll find its not just the Germans

Usa always been on the wrong side

@@JL-qo6lo like in WWII?

That's what I usually write.

@@HeroInHelp copywrite???

Yes, but now they are only used for paper. Which ironically is also what Banks specialize in..

The big sanctions were applied within 3 months of the start of the war. Freezing 300B of Russian funds, cutoff from Swift, cut off of most trade etc. Folks like Browder expected Russia to collapse like the USSR did in 1990. Didn't happen. The 221 st round of sanction has close to zero impact. And the 222nd round and 223rd round are equally useless. Russia has shifted to trade with China, India, and the global south. And when the BRICs currency is established further sanctions will be useless. Europe's economy will collapse well before Russia's economy.

i for one am happy with banks prioritizing the interests of their investors and customers over some moralistic pr moves .... once the war is over and sanctions fall again, business will continue as usual...

So you know for sure your retirement fund is not invested in Russian oil, mining, gas?

@@throughput6674 dont care if it is... The world is and will be addicted to those resources for a long time, so i dont fear. It to be a bad investment...

Nope

just because you have no money there, doesn't mean you can lecture other people what to do with their own money. lol

The person that needs to be held accountable for the delay is speaker Johnson. He chose to not bring the vote to the floor of the House for 6 months. The blood is on his hands. 'I was only following Trump's orders', is no defence for his decision, especially since Trump, as an ex president, has no authority in the matter.

Yes sir! Im pretty sure the politicians will take action right away

@@doodsrem bankster rhymes on gangster right after that is banister. They all make a living and producing nothing.

Putin will take and nationalise these banks anyway.

They sanctioned Russia and just ended up sanctioning themselves! This only hurts the population of the EU

imagine! bold faced hypocrisy. I can't watch to the end.

@@micdmj Then don't. Bye, bye.

Russia has invaded another nation for its territory and resources. That's the difference. You don't see Canada invading part of the U.S. and occupying it or Australia invading South Korea.

​@@LanternOneStudios USA is illegally in Libya and Syria still... France still has colonies

@@DanaPearsonVastman who is the enemy?

it's only good if usa can have a war economy like it did but when other countries do it it's bad ? get lost

You understand that Russia's money intake is up and that this war isn't gonna last too much longer in this form, at least?

@@robo__cop8154 Don't just dismiss ideas that make you feel uncomfortable. The USSR had about 50-70% of it's economy dedicated to war production at it's peak. The US, at it's peak, was 7%. That is a massive difference, it's how the US and other Western countries can diversify and use their skills base and manufacturing knowledge to produce better outcomes for war production, the economy and people more generally. Russia just ain't that powerful. It's economy is the size of Mexico's (nothing wrong with Mexico, but you'd never think of it as a world power). Russia, under Putin's dictatorship, is pretending to be the imperialist Russia of 140 years ago, Putin puts up statues to, whilst weeping in front of, Alexander III. Even back then, 1880s, it was a second-rate imperial (land) empire, never could compete with naval empires like the British Empire or the US now. Watch Sarah C.M. Paine's talk on this, she's fascinating, much of my info comes from her.

@@kevf 'Money' intake as in...? What metric? India has stopped buying Russian crude oil, as Western sanctions loopholes are tightening, China is being warned about all the nonsense sanctions evasion they're doing with Russia, like labeling containers 'Scrap Metal' when it's copper - a valuable metal in Russia's war effort. And Russia has a massive, unprecedented amount of sanctions slowly strangling their economy. We'll see the effects over the medium-long term, but just think North vs South Korea.

@@skullsaintdead you can continue to believe that russia is dead and dying ,the results in ukriane say otherwise . once russia is done with ukraine it would have made a huge profit many times over what it lost so losses are fine .i look on both sides and then comment .time will tell who's the winner .

TBF EU and other country still buying a Russia gas and oils, but they all come with India,China and others trademark anyway.

Normaly, one would think Russia has a lot of what everybody needs, so they sell it all, get rich, build roads, hospitals, flushing toilet for everyone…So what is Putin’s problem?

We also need to pressure Biden to pressure Putin, to free political prisoner Vladimir Kara-Murza from Russian jail, before he dies there too, like so many others!

so is the usa

Another Kremlin boy 🤡 ..... It's better for everybody if Russia withdraw it's army from Ukraine. Ukraine is in Europe. Russia invaded a European country.

I found it funny that he said that the only evidence of Russian economic activity growth is "lies from the Russian Government" right after explaining how western banks had quadrupled their profits and were paying 4x the taxes than they were before Ukraine.... I'd say that's also an indicator.

They subjective to pointing out their hypocrisy on real time,it's sucking

The american war industry doesnt give money to Russia.

you're paid to do that, not him

an excellent quote....

They're definitely profiting the most out of the European banks in Russia, with €1.8bn profit there in 2023, according to their filings (the next biggest is UniCredit with 'just' €658m)... and Raiffeisen paid €464m in taxes to Russia in 2023.

Are all those transactions in Euros and dollars or rubles? Appears like a huge money laundering operation at this point.

If that is true, so what? Russia allowed it. If they're handing out money and you know about it, I bet you are the first in line with your hand out. Why not? At the time it was doing no harm. So get off your high horse. You just sound foolish.

@@cattymajiv Stealing is OK? You really mean it?

Bill Browder didn’t steal money. It was Putin the dog and his cronies that stole money. And Putin the dog was responsible for the murder of his friend.

Any chance you could share Nekrasov's findings ??? Since it has been buried ,,, you are our only source ... Thanks in advance !!!

@@twoninetwosevenone Magnitzky was imprisoned because Browder did not pay his considerable tax debts. He died in prison probably because he did not get sufficient health care. Browder spread that Magnitzky was imprisoned and murdered in prison for exposing corruption in the Kremlin.

because the holdings are in rubles, and even Russia don't prefer rubles. Russia needs euros or USD

the problem is the EU banks

That doesn't sound very likely.
