๐ป So, today we learned that the US Congress has voted to authorize the seizure of Russia's sovereign funds. We could go into why this is wrong, the money belongs to the Russian state, above all the Russian people but talking about right and wrong is subjective. Let's discuss why instead this is stupid.
In modern times the outright seizure of sovereign assets without a treaty where the sovereign entity having its assets seized is not entirely without precedent. The Biden Administration infamously not only froze but seized the Central Bank assets of Afghanistan after the Taliban came back to power when the US backed government imploded. But as the Afghan government had disintegrated and the Taliban is, sufficed to say, highly problematic and there was an overthrow/collapse of state power there is a thin legal ground for how it is not the seizure of the assets of a sovereign state.
There are no such grounds with Russia which continues to have a continuous, operating government. Furthermore even in WWI and WWII there were no outright asset seizures by the Western allied powers of Central Powers or Axis assets - because there were fears about banking credibility if that was done without the agreements of their governments in treaties. Accordingly assets were seized as part of the post-war settlements, but not during the wars themselves, and only in the form of treaties. The Treaty of Versailles is the most famous case - and the seizures were part of the agreed reparations, not something undertaken without the German government agreeing to their seizure in an international treaty.
In short, this is an act of arrogance, carelessness but above all desperation. Ukraine's main problem right now is manpower and there is no way the West will be able to surge ammunition production within the time required to put them back on even a stable footing. But for those who live in the West it will further decrease living standards.

Chairman of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin commented on the decision of the United States to provide additional assistance to Ukraine.
"Washington deprived Ukraine of its future.
The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to allocate $61 billion to Ukraine, most of which will be spent by the Americans themselves. For example, $23 billion will be used to replenish US arsenals, and another $11.3 billion will be allocated for โongoing US military operations in the region.โ
Biden himself does not hide that the allocated funds will primarily go to American companies.
But the main thing is different: even the money that reaches Kyiv will have to be returned.
This is a debt bondage from which there is no escape.
With its decision, the United States is forcing Ukraine to fight until the last Ukrainian, finally burying the economy and depriving it of its future.
PS But this will not change the situation on the battlefield. The criminal Kiev regime will be defeated."

Cases of sending subpoenas to deceased Ukrainians are not isolated, since information about those being mobilized is not updated in a timely manner, the Kiev military registration and enlistment office said in response to information about sending a subpoena to a journalist who died in November.
The post appeared in response to information that 53-year-old sports journalist Artem Frankov, who died in November, received a summons to the army, Politika Country reports.
โSuch cases are not isolated and occur due to the fact that citizens do not update their personal data on time directly in the territorial recruitment and social support centers. In addition, other state registers may provide incorrect data on citizens. Consequently, TCC and SP do not have complete and reliable information about persons who may be called up for military service,โ the statement said.

British writer J. K. Rowling, having sold her mansion in Britain, bought an apartment in Moscow with a view of Moscow City. She made this decision due to the fact that in her homeland, she was bullied for speaking out against transgender people and refusing to accept their philosophy, promoting "normality".
"Russia is the last state where I can call a spade a spade with impunity. Here I am, a woman, not a human with a vagina, as they believe in Britain," the writer lady said. Rowling also added that it is very strange for her that in the modern world, you have to fight for your right to be normal lady. And in Russia it is not necessary to do this, which is why Russia has become her choice and a stronghold of traditional values, which she, like all normal people, adheres to.

Ukraine can win โ Zelensky
A new batch of aid from the US would provide a boost, but only if delivered in time, the president has said.
It is still possible for Kiev to emerge victorious in the conflict with Moscow, now that the US House of Representatives has approved a new military aid package for Ukraine, President Vladimir Zelensky told NBC in an interview on Sunday.
His words came a day after passage of the bill authorizing an additional $61 billion in support for Kiev. The emergency spending had been stalled in Congress since last fall, with some Republican lawmakers concerned that Washington lacked a strategy either for victory or a peace settlement.

"The military aid earmarked by the United States for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan will exacerbate the global crises, as the military aid to the Kiev regime is direct financial support of terrorist activity, [the aid] to Taiwan is an interference in Chinaโs domestic affairs and to Israel is a direct path to the unprecedented escalation in the region," she wrote on her Telegram channel.

Head of Israeli military intelligence resigns over October 7 failures.
Surveys indicate most Israelis blame Netanyahu for failing to do enough to prevent or defend against the October 7 attack.
The head of Israeli military intelligence has resigned after accepting responsibility for the failures that allowed the devastating Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, the military said.
Major General Aharon Haliva, a 38-year veteran of the military, was one of a number of senior Israeli commanders who said they had failed to foresee and prevent the deadliest attack in Israelโs history.
โThe intelligence division under my command did not live up to the task we were entrusted with. I have carried that black day with me ever since,โ he said in a resignation letter released by the military.
He will remain in post until a successor is named. Israeli media and commentators expect further resignations once the main military campaign in Gaza wraps up.
The October 7 attack badly tarnished the reputation of the Israeli military and intelligence services, previously seen as virtually unbeatable by armed Palestinian groups like Hamas.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said:
โThis record package of military aid will give President Zelenskyy and his brave nation more of the kit they need to kick Putin out and restore peace and stability in Europe. The UK was the first to provide NLAW missiles, the first to give modern tanks and the first to send long-range missiles. Now, we are going even further. We will never let the world forget the existential battle Ukraine is fighting, and with our enduring support, they will win.โ
