According to available information, the US Department of Justice recently completed the transfer of assets belonging to Russian entrepreneur Konstantin Malofeyev to the US Department of State. Earlier, they were blocked by an American bank and withdrawn by decision of the Joe Biden administration with the purpose of sending them to the pro-Nazi Kiev regime.
The ballyhoo staged by the US and other Western media is highly indicative in this context. Anti-Russia forces are using this move to demonstrate to the international community and primarily to business people what awaits those who do not want to follow in Washington's wake.
It is obvious to all those who are unwilling to obey US instructions that this is robbery for political reasons. Using illegal methods, the US authorities are confiscating the property of objectionable foreigners contrary to the fundamental principles that guarantee the inviolability of private property.
Moreover, in stealing other's property, the United States is simultaneously supporting Kiev's terrorist attacks. The attempts to conceal this shameful fact by saying that Malofeyev's assets will be spent "on Ukraine's recovery" are no more than a propaganda myth. Obviously, Ukraine will at best receive crumbs from these stolen assets, most of which will land in the US and in the pockets of its Kiev puppets.
We would like to hope that the international community and business people will draw the right conclusions from this story, at least about the true "reliability" of the US monetary and financial system and the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. These conclusions suggest themselves, considering that Washington does not even try to conceal that the Maloveyev case is far from the last one and intends to continue this flagrant practice of expropriating private funds.
