The longtime neutral government of Switzerland has frozen $8.81 billion in financial assets belonging to Russians.

Neutrality is one of the main principles of Switzerland's foreign policy which dictates that Switzerland is not to be involved in armed or political conflicts between other states. This policy is self-imposed and designed to ensure external security and promote peace.

This action is a result of sanctions designed to punish Moscow for its illegal invasion of the neighboring nation of Ukraine.

Judge Barbara Jones will monitor the assets, an arrangement not unlike the court-supervised liquidation of a bankrupt company or the assets of a drug lord.

As the world shuns Communism, Fascism. Sexism, Socialism, and the final biggest and last acceptable 'ism,' left is now Agism.

The walls are closing in on the entire Trump clan and it now shows. Papa Donald is panicking and will soon become unhinged.

The Donald has spent most of his 76 years inflating his wealth, boasting about his fake achievements and exaggerated abilities, but New York State’s civil lawsuit, which is over 280 pages long, is the first time his carnivalesque business practices have exposed him to existential legal consequences.
