Yeah, they have around 2500 members, but that's totally a reason to lose 2000 people a day in an unprovoked invasion and tank your entire country's economy while doing it.

Would be nice if Europe and the US would seize Putin and associates' accounts and donate them to Ukraine.

It's basically akin to Canada deciding to invade the US because of the existence of the Proud Boys.

Well, it's a little different. For one, Ukraine took all of these militia groups and made them a standard part of their military's operations. Apparently they've been working to defang the rhetoric of this particular group, but for Putin to pretend like he gives a shit about fascism given that he's currently the highest profile fascist world leader is a bit ridiculous.

I agree with this. Ukraine already has sustained tremendous damage, and of course it will get much worse before this ends. Take everything possible from Russia and give it over to Ukraine to help rebuild. Assuming they win. God I hope they win.

$600B of reserves of RF, which are frozen, is the cost of a just single major city. It's not enough to cover loses from Russian war, because Ukraine lost 2 major cities (Donetsk, Luhansk) and whole Crimea at the beginning of the war. Everything confiscated will be just a little fraction of lost value.

IMHO, RF should give Cuban and other territories, confiscated by USSR, back to Ukraine as compensation for 8 years of war and massive destruction of Ukrainian cities.
