nationalization of Russian energy assets abroad is 'a double-edged weapon', says Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that any move by foreign countries to nationalize Russian stakes in companies would be “a double-edged sword.” “We are already hearing statements from officials about a possible nationalization of some of our assets,” he said. “How far will that get us? Let no one forget that it is a double-edged sword.” Putin also bemoaned what he said was “administrative pressure on our company Gazprom in some European countries.” Germany on Monday put a government agency in charge of a longtime German subsidiary of Gazprom, the Russian state-controlled energy giant. Gazprom said last week it had cut ties with the unit but Germany says that was invalid because the identity of any new owners is unclear and the deal happened without the required government approval. President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia must keep a close eye on its food exports to hostile countries because the West's sanctions had fomented a global food crisis and spiraling energy prices. The Kremlin chief cautioned that higher energy prices combined with a shortage of fertilisers would prompt the West to print money to buy up supplies, leading to food shortages among poorer countries. "They will inevitably exacerbate food shortages in the poorest regions of the world, spur new waves of migration and in general drive food prices even higher," Putin told a meeting on developing food production. "In these current conditions, a shortage of fertilisers on the global market is inevitable," Putin said. "We will have to be more careful about food supplies abroad, especially carefully monitor the exports to countries which are hostile to us." https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-possible-nationalization-russian-assets-abroad-is-double-edged-weapon-2022-04-05/ 1 Like |

Lol There is plenty he can do. Nationalise any German company operating in Russia. Size any German Vessel passing close to Russia or the Black Sea Target German Airline, Lufthanza, including using jets to hijack and escorted them to Russia. In all this, I hope Nigeria is learning a lesson. 1. Storing excessive amounts of other peoples currency is not wealth but a risk 2. Exporting oil and any other high demand items in anything other than your own currency is downright stupid, because you are simply handing over your country wealth to another country. They can now print more paper currency at your expense. US and Europe are not resource rich countries, but anytime they need money they just print it, on the strength of the idiots around the world who keep stockpiling and demanding for their currencies. Can you imagine that US simply gave more than 1000 USD to each family during covid. How, they just print money. You the stupid people demanding their currency ensures it does not loose value. 3. Soverign wealth funds is a misnomer, invest your wealth at home ir in infrastructure of a friendly country. 4. International loans are strings of slavery, live within your means, value your currency properly and you can afford your infrastructure with ease. 8 Likes |

bn365:not that I support civilian casualties in Ukraine or the invasion but perhaps I support the idea that the crisis is likely to bring a long end to the dollar domination across the worth thereby giving every real hard worker the real value of their money. In the US an unskilled labourer earns at least 100 dollar a day while in Nigeria an 1,500 or 2k daily convert this rates and see just how much we are being cheated. Many people would say American companies pay better than Chinese and India whereas it's the currency values that's exploring us. 2 Likes |

bn365: This bigger than thou perception is our biggest problem in Africa. Asians have a very different view. Because every technology we use is second hand, there is not much a country like US can do with sanctions, except to say we can't migrate to US or London, which will be a good thing. The real problem I see is the usual tribal politics where each group is trying to like the anus of either UK or US and is ready to offer them everything on a platter of gold. That's really why we need to break up or form a union of independent nations. |
