Russia Seizes More Western Assets as Putin Signs Decree to Seize Russia's Second Largest Airport - Joe Blogs



President Putin has issued ANOTHER DECREE this time authorizing Russia to take CONTROL of the 2nd Largest Airport in Russia which is located in his home city of St Petersburg. This airport was developed using a Public Private Partnership put together with a German Airport Operator that has now lost its entire investment. Russia has now seized businesses valued at over $100 Billion and interestingly this latest asset is partially owned by Middle Eastern Wealth Funds. In this video I provide more details on the seizure of this asset, look at the losses incurred by industries who have invested in Russia and discuss the implications for the Russian Economy.

To support dictators, Nazis and fascists. They can grab your wealth away too. Property seizure is not just for taking away the middle class's wealth.

I don't think that's a rational idea at the moment, but I must say Putin is returning to his roots.

This will deter future foreign investments in Russian projects for a very long time to come.
