Yesterday's attack on Ukraine cost Russia as much as $1.27 billion. The prices of the missiles, rockets and drones used in the attack were compiled by Economic Truth, which calculated that the Russians lost $1 billion 273 million 220 thousand dollars. That would pay for the country's Health Care for most of next year.

I miss the old days when you killed a king their treasure was just up for grabs, now it's all hidden away and obfuscated while no one knows its true value. We need to start storing wealth in big treasure chests again and abolish banks.

I hope this same thing can be used to freeze and seize israeli assets.
