    I would hope the western companies can be compensated with Russian central bank assets.

    One would think that likely.

              India is not playing ball …

              India Buys Russian Oil Despite Pressure For Sanctions Over Ukraine War
              Indian media reports said Russia was offering a discount on oil purchases of 20% below global benchmark prices.

                            Russia's airlines are starting to worry about replacement parts. If they can't do proper maintenance and service, they might be denied access to many airports.

                            And, speaking of aircraft, a major supplier of fighter-jet parts is in ... Germany.

                              Saw a story that seizing the oligarchs' yachts and other property might be illegal. Wouldn't surprise me.

                                Heard that as well. On the other hand, the extraordinary actions of one country deserve extraordinary responses from other countries. In this case seizure of assets abroad linked to Russian lawmakers and oligarchs are fair game. Let the bleeding hearts go ahead and bleed.

                                    I believe invading neighboring countries and shelling residential areas is rather frowned upon as well.

                                          Many in Moscow have cited soaring inflation as the most egregious problem

                                          Wonder if they are calling it Bidinflation?
