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.

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

Probably, or just be an ass hole and get to a decision maker. When I'm too lazy I'll have my son do it and just coach him on what to say on speaker phone. I swear too much. He's had to do it a lot lately. He does get the job done though more politely but still rude.
I'm polite in 99% of my interactions on the phone or in person. 1%, you get the Wookie shit show. I'll tear your soul out and make you wish you weren't born.

It's called the 'Neocon Tax'. After all, you have ancient liabilities incurred by proxy against the Slavs.
Now you know.
Now you know.

Not to mention the fact that during the Civil War, Russia kept England at bay from meddling in the conflict. For most of the history of the US, Russia had been a friend to the US. The Soviet era was an anomaly.

Well that sucks. Losing money is always a bummer.
Russia has been ruled by maniacs forever; for several decades the USA spent gazillions of dollars defending Europe from Russian empire builders with invasion dreams.
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).

I'm saying that the war was deliberately provoked by the US.
The US has repeatedly made promises to not move NATO eastward, but those were all lies.

Not money, but old stockpiles of weapons amassed to fight the Commies and which otherwise would have to be recycled which costs real money. As it stands now the lion share of "money" we spend is just accounting gimmick where old beaten down 1982 HMMV they used to sell at government auctions for $2K is now counted at replacement value of a modern troop carrier, i.e. at $200K+. And the best part? It all is covered by $300B in Soviet assets stuck in the West before the Belend of Kremlin started his genocidal war. Patrick will eventually get his money back from that pile too. If stupid Potato didn't stomp on the brakes in the fall of 2022 thus preventing kicking of the Red Army back behind legal borders, Patrick would already have his money. With interest.

It's bullshit. It was refuted so many times it's not funny. If search worked worth shit the old thread where it was beated to death would be easy to find.
There is no written treaty (or any other official document for that matter) making any such promises. If you think there is, it should be easy to find. Heck, if there was, it would be published on the first page of TASS website. Alas, it's not.
Besides, are you saying that OUR GREAT CHRISTIAN LEADER IS SO STUPID AND GULLIBLE HE DIDN'T GET SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING IN WRITING? BLASPHEMY AGAIN!

1990? We're talking 35 years. Europe got into two world wars in that time frame. I don't hate Russia, but shit changes. Alliances change. I'm sure Russia has followed every agreement they made as well, said no one.
Europe will just have to go to war again. I think this time we stay out.

I had shares in YNDX and SBRCY, on the recommendation from a Ukrainian-Russian guy I know from working with him. Then in early 2022, poof gone from my Schwab account because the US State Department hates Russia so much.
Schwab tells me that the shares are being held in escrow for me, but I cannot get at them for the indefinite future. The part of the US government that did it is called OFAC:
https://ofac.treasury.gov/
This is little short of criminal action on the part of the US government, yet again. It's as if US citizens have no rights because a bunch of people in the State Department either don't like the competition for global power, or because those State Department employees making these decisions nurture an ethnic grievance against Russia for perceived persecution 150 years ago.
All of my mother's ancestors and half of my wife's ancestors were under Russian domination 150 years ago and I personally just don't care.
Our enemies are not in Russia. They are all in DC.
