You could probably sue under the 5th amendment. But it would cost you more than the shares are worth.

Absolutely. What has Russia ever done to the US? did they invade when the US annexed Hawaii? Did they invade when the US grabbed Puerto Rico? They even sold Alaska to the US. If they had been enemies, would they have done that? I think all this enemy talk is to keep the man in the street talking about something else than the govt being the real enemy, and those that keep Americans sick and enslaved.

After the US successfully provoked Russia into invading Ukraine

Now the present maniac dictator finally started the war; luckily we aren't actually fighting it, just supplying weapons and money (like the USA did for England, Israel, even Russia once upon a time).

The US has repeatedly made promises to not move NATO eastward, but those were all lies.

then I sold the Gazprom and other nonsense third world stuff

We promised the USSR that, but the USSR doesn't exist any more.

For example, on February 6, 1990, when Genscher met with British Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd, the British record showed Genscher saying, "The Russians must have some assurance that if, for example, the Polish Government left the Warsaw Pact one day, they would not join NATO the next."

But there is a second, even less discussed, promise that the US made to Russia . . . and broke.

In May 1997, when President Clinton broke America’s promise and expanded NATO much more than an inch to the east, he at least signed the NATO-Russia Founding Act on Mutual Relations, which promised generally to “not consider each other as adversaries” in a “peaceful and undivided Europe” and promised explicitly that as NATO expanded east, there would be no “permanent stationing of substantial combat forces.” And even that, according to Gorbachev’s memoirs, verified by Jack F. Matlock Jr., who was the American ambassador to Russia at the time and was present at the meeting, was a repetition of the February 1990 promise, not just that NATO membership wouldn’t extend east, but that NATO troops would not extend east. The US obliterated this promise.

Since that second promise, Stephen Cohen, who was director of the Russian Studies Program at Princeton University, says that NATO has built up its “permanent land, sea and air power near Russian territory, along with missile-defense installations.” US and NATO weapons and troops have butted right up against Russia’s borders, while anti-missile installations have surrounded it, leading to the feeling of betrayal in Russia and the fear of aggression.
