    They have learnt from Russia that having assets overseas is nothing but a a hindrance to their sovereignty. They have viewed first hand that countries only allow them purchase those assets to use as leverage against them when it comes to forcing their national interest policies down the throat of adversaries. as such in order not to be held at ransom best is to be economically and financially free from potential enemies. The heightened tension of oil politics between the west and Saudis is the driving force behind this move.

      And yet in the case of the west, they do it to themselves... especially since the latest so called administration came into being.
      It’s not like Canada doesn’t have the worlds second or third largest proven oil reserves or anything, or that with today’s prices it’s not economically viable to restart drilling and fracking in the US either...
      They just want to strangle themselves and their people.

      this is one of the more practical answers as opposed to all these comments from these religious gloom & doomer nut jobs...it has nothing to do with the decline of the dollar, because if that was the case, the Emirati/Qatari/Bahraini/Omani royal families would be selling off "foreign assets "as well. Saudi royals are taking note of the Russian billionaire oligarchs and they don't want to end up in the same boat...or yacht lol...that simple...

      Everyone should remember, ethically, the Sauds are not any better than Putin. All of these corrupt regimes put their money at risk when they invest in western nations that have a more modern rule of law.

      Well for starters, USA has become from world's biggest oil importer to world's biggest oil producer over last six to eight years. Saudis know that USA don't need gulf oil, so naturally they would seek out the second biggest oil consumer, or the third biggest. The gulf countries would always keep converting their oil money into better security systems, no matter what. The only difference is that USA ain't going to be made part of that. Sooner or later Saudis will find themselves in crossfire, while sitting on that oil money, they might be just preparing themselves.

      And that's a good thing, for the west. At certain points in history there comes a time when you have to choose between right and wrong. Putin's invasion of Ukraine is 100% wrong.

      @Moni Penny I think we'd be in total agreement on Iraq. The others, not.
      The rest of your comment sounds like it came from RT, so I don't take it seriously. Who invaded who, and what has it led to?
      What fascinates me is that you'd compare instances of U.S. or U.K. committing a relatively few war crimes hear or there with what Russia is currently doing to Ukraine as a matter of practice. And what did Putin do in Syria, and Grozny; and how did he get himself elected in the first place? Have you read Putin's Kleptocracy, for example? Yes, I see that no country does everything by the book, but somehow attempting to equate Putin with anyone in the west does not make you look good. The world's a messy place. The ones who make it the messiest are those like Putin. I'm not on his side and I don't apologize for it. I'm very glad for anything done to make his life more difficult. My only Russian friend agrees. And I sure as hell am glad for the Ukrainian people that they don't have to live under a Putin puppet rather than Zelenskyy.

      At this moment in time, we are living in chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Revelation. And Revelation chapter 1 verse 3 says, Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keepeth those things which are written therein for the timebis at hand.

      I know it probably sounds cool and edgy to want the dollar to crash, but USD is 60% of world currency reserves. Next up is Chinese Yen at 4%. USD isn't crashing any time soon without something drastic, and then it affects the entire world. The whole thing, all of us, and the wealthiest few in the world will profit off that, whereas, regular folks will never ever recover. To lose its status gradually, slowly, maybe it works out, but don't be wishing for the dollar to be crashing over a matter of hours or days. Cause you're screwed too in that scenario.

    Saudi Royals were not known for purchasing properties outside Saudi Arabia. For instance Cheikh Yamani, the prince and Saudi oil Minister was removed in 1982 for buying a bungalow building in USA. If the present Royals have gone to the extent of buying luxury properties outside the country it is not good enough. That is capital flight.
    But as they are now selling those properties I'm sure it is a good decision.

    The war will push the world into an economic recession. The paying ability of people to pay for basic commodities is going to get affected seriously. In such a state of economy, expensive luxuries will not only become unsellable due to absence of buyers, but will cost a tonne of cash to maintain such goods. In such a state, it sounds like a better idea to sell off such goods to bring cash flow into the country than to let it out. As during a war its usually all countries fending for themselves making most foreign assets undissolvable. Also they know something the rest of the world doesn't. That's the intriguing part.

Didn't they do their due diligence before targeting those oligarchs?? And didn't they tell people why they did that?? And most accepted it! If they didn't, people would have probably raised a hell of a fuss if it was anyother "random" reason.
    Besides was the average random rich Russian targeted?? I haven't heard of one yet. maybe those people are sitting comfortably somewhere in their European mansions waiting out everything.
