Amen!
It's as close as we'll get to a tax on genocidal tyrants.

It could come back to haunt the U.S., but it may be worth the risk.

@GreenFire @ilust606 @anneapplebaum if it sets a precedent then all the better, that'll be further deterrence to any country considering unprovoked agressions of other countries

I agree with that, but I'm not so sure that Americans that may get their money confiscated by other countries based on this precedence will feel that it is worth it, but as with all decisions, there's hazard making either choice.

I think it should be done and that it's time everyone choose a side between countries they're willing to work with.
