- Russian authorities have threatened foreign companies that are withdrawing from the country with arrests and asset seizures.. that's according to the Wall Street Journal. Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Apple have closed stores in Russia. Procter & Gamble, IBM and others have halted exports to the country. Over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would favor putting firms under 'external management'. The Russian government has allegedly threatened to also seize their assets, including intellectual property.

Well that's one way to insure no companies do business in russia ever again.
No independent companies but regime companies like the one in China wouldnt mind.
China will benefit most out of this crisis.
@@wokeaf1337 Russia money is pretty much worthless these days. China much rather keep good relations and trade with the rest of the world than focusing on one single country which is now seen as nothing but a tyrannical police state. China don't want that sort of reputation.
@@Symmetry77 WHAT!? They already have that reputation. Do you know the Ministry of Finance official has already spoken with industrial corporate leaders to ask them to take the market share in Russia? DUH. China sees this as an opportunity.
China is laughing on Western foolishness
Thats one way to ensure permanent sanctions on Russia.
When a enemy makes a mistake, do not interrupt them!
Well, EU and State of America are in the big loss! Want to know how? How much is the natural gas in EU countries right now? How much is oil for your cars in State of America? Now tell me! Who is the in the big loss?
@@saye8560 LOSS? USA and EU are always in for the long-game. Only dumb people look for short term gains, that's why Russia always losses to the west.
US and EU can go completely independent from Russian energy in a few years, admittedly they will suffer in short-term.
@@saye8560 oil and gas can always be replaced. What cannot be replaced IP and supply chain know how. Can seizing a coca cola factory mean russia have formula of that drink, NO. Coca cola dosent share its recipe. Does seizing a apple store mean iphones are going to fall out of sky??
@@saye8560 russia isn't the only country that is selling natural gas. Now you can be a slave to China.
@@saye8560 If take the nukes out of the equation ... Russia is just a very sad 3rd world country that only relies on oil and gas export ...
After the west transitions to alternative energy sources ... what will be left of Russia?
Russia, with 144 mil inhabitants, has a GDP smaller than Italy and less than half of Germany. And that GDP relies heavily on oil and gas export for which it has to do nothing makes it even worse.
Take that away and what will remain ... even North Korea and Cuba will be doing better 😂😂😂
Arrest and asset siezures. Finally they are starting to understand how the game is played.
Do it

And if they produce their Cola Locally... they could easily dissect the recipe.

that sucks
@@Alexander-jr8nw The same is true for the Western world seizing assets from Russia. Only a fool would keep his money in a American or European bank. I never keep more than 5k in my European bank account these days. Today they take the money from Russian people. It might be you or me tomorrow.
@@Alexander-jr8nw The EU will rule your country and ruin it beyond recognition. It won't be your country for long anymore. Those who control the money, control everything. In one or two generations Romanians will be a minority in their own country, just like all other European peoples. The people of my country {The Netherlands} desperately want to leave the EU, but our corrupt politicians don't allow it. And our money is not safe anywhere, they are switching to a totally digital system under their control. They are already phasing out cash.
It might be a short term option but in the long run it will damage the Russian economy harder than the sanctions.
well in long run, US and EU will damage their economies as well.
@@applebee3735 only slightly the Russian economy is in a freefall just like the Rubel. In the ling run nobody will be putting the factories and shops in the Russian Federation. And Putin has been successful where we failed getting the German nation loose from Russian oil and gas within five years.
Just like North Korea. Communist have no place in society
@@ghostnights8538 wow, that sounds like dictatorship and racist statement.
@@jacksonteller1337 Seriously, many analysts around the world have been saying that economy of Ukrain and EU are dying faster after this crisis because they can't recover economy after pandemic, plus Ukrian crisis, AND expansive gas, oil, food, and high unemployment. US's credibility and trust are going down the bottom of ocean, especially after chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and Ukrain crisis, and using Afghan's assets to pay for wealthy American citizens while people in Afghanistan are starving.

@@epicon6...you beat me to it
Not sure how much of a benefit nationalising these assets would be to Russia since the supply chain needed to support a lot of these business will be entirely cut off.
am a bit confused about it too
Depending if they have local supply chains or not. Russia is a big country. Plus the most valuable thing is the know how and recipes.
@@seeker3507 They'll just make knock offs. And further ensure the nearing recession of the US. If your an american you should try to protect yourself as much as possible from the nearing recession. The Fed cant save the economy forever.
And it's a benefit of the west to sanction russia? Don't think too much, just punishment.
Depends on whether the supply chain is proportionately domestic. I would guess that a car plant with 60% domestic suppliers would be nationalised; MacDonalds, Ikea not so much.
By nationalizing foreign assets, Russia can look forward to an economy much like Venezuela.
What about robbing thr property of Russoa and Russian people?Double standards
..... quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi, right? Just have a look into how much "Russian" assets the west took away just like that, no matter privately owned, no matter hundreds or thousands employees depending on it, and now there's loudly acted surprise about this Russian idea .... really? How far from reality can one tread water for so long ....? The US even steal money from Afghanistan to spread it under their own .... there shouldn't be any doubt about a complete and total worldwide lawlessness when it comes to money and assets anywhere no matter wich side of the coin ....
@@user-yi8rt5zq9e That makes no sense. Enjoy your Communism, he's repeating what happened in my home country Venezuela and the Russian people will pay for it. And it's not the west's fault, IT'S PUTINS FAULT.

Given the level of corporate "involvement" in most western democracies, I doubt any sanctions would end while Russia holds intellectual/trade property hostage. Do they know that? 🤣
@Tommy Taffy you mean the Kremlin not Russia. It's a totalitarian state. Secondly the West is very mindful of the fact that China wishes to participate in their world. I think you missed the point of the discussion
Lol you don’t think they weighed their options? Either lose russia or the rest of their market due to backlash. 😂 you must think you’re Einstein
@Tommy Taffy and why exactly do you think that? Or did you hear that line from someone else? Firstly this crisis has brought the EU, NATO and the US and it allies closer together and the human spirit has been emboldened to have the courage to do the right thing. Even regimes such as Hungary have called Putin out. I think it’s people like you who are in for a very rude awakening, people like you who cannot think.
@UCQCYSumHBmP8zrCI7CTifhg no you wish that would happen but it isn’t playing out as you expect. Who are you after all ? Not relevant in the scheme of things and haven’t got the slightest clue what you are talking about. Clueless 🤡
@UCQCYSumHBmP8zrCI7CTifhg what deeds? What the f are you wittering on about?
Welp. This should serve as a warning to International companies that are thinking of investing in Russia in the future.
but west also seize russian oligarchy assets abroad..so why west so hypocrisy
What warning - the companies who pulled out did so at the asking of the state. There are widespread reports that tons of companies are being "asked" to isolate Russia economically by the US fed government. This is a war. Companies are soldiers.
or any other country. But they don't care. These big corporations and their shareholders only care about profit margin, brand proliferation, and economies of scale. This same mentality from the corporate oligarchy is why America has been on a downward spiral post ww2. Outsource all the jobs to foreign countries, buy cheaper goods and materials overseas, profit, profit, profit...
Or Russians wanting to invest in foreign companies? lol
@@seeker3507 soldiers without the killing
An unhappy meal with a side of oppression fries isn't too bad.
I guess I better not ask where my toy is, or I'll disappear
As I turn this over in my head I think about how money has been syphoned off by workers from big government contracts.....
The businesses simply mightn't work with a government managing them.
Most companies have just withdrawn and abandoned their operations for a limited time, to begin with! And they are assessing the entire situation, initially it’s only temporarily but they have to see if Putins war on Ukraine is going to take a prolonged period time, and how fast Sanctions would be lifted!
The reason a few of them have just permanently abandoned the Russian market is because the sanctions that are in place, they can’t operate or produce anything at their factories, amazingly enough is the reason the Car factories are being shut down is because part of their supply chain depends on products made in Ukrainian factories!
The Russian government can threaten all they like about seizing foreign companies assets!
Well they can’t run and operate the factories and businesses. Because they don’t have any of the components and etc!
Also if Russia does that then there are no way any company would invest anything in Russia if it’s leader can just confiscate it, also that spells trouble for Russian companies around the world. As they would likely be confiscated in retaliation!
So Russia thinks they have the recipe for Coke? If they had that, they wouldn’t need to invade a smaller country.
Do you believe in Santa-Claus as well?
I imagine it's a good thing for Russia to get rid of Coke and McDonald's.
no it's not because it makes money
For health reasons, sure. For the economy, definitely not.

Depends on the deal of investment.
@@j.c.4192 not really!
@@CarlosHernandez-sz7cj Yes but they nationalized assets they owned with equipment they paid for and built in nordic countries. with Venuezuela they had deals with big companies who built the wells and funded the exploration etc. Then the country nationalized it stealing billions from oil companies. So no one else will invest there. Its not because of sanctions. Its because no one is silly enough to spend a bunch of money in your country if your known to just steal the stuff.
Russia is not Venizuela
Russia’s going to be even worse off than Venezuela
These companies were being naive at best if they thought that they can leave Russia now and come back later to do their businesses as usual without any repercussions.
Wow. Haliburton is one of the few that's staying. Go figure.

These are billion dollar companies. Trust me, as an American, I can tell you that they can and do get what they want, every damn day.
Who says there ever wanna come back to a country that approves killing newborn children and hungry people.. 😡
Please do, to make sure none of those companies ever return!
The signs were all there and all corporations that ignored the erosion of human rights and in their greed still invested in an increasingly authoritarian country like Russia in within the last 10 years would deserve to lose those investments. -- But it's probably an empty threat since this would also mean that no company would invest in Russia for at least a decade.
Who would ever do business in Russia for the next generation or two if they just take your assets because you want to pause your business. This is bad for Russians more than anything. If Putin steals the IP then they are truly a criminal state. China says they’re going to buy up these companies’ assets? Phew the only reason China’s economy hasn’t been crushed is because Western businesses have lobbied to go easy on them because they e been good for business but now… we’re close to having similar sanctions on CCP
@@haruruben Hope you realise foreign countties are seizing the pivate properties of russians. Its fair if russia does worse but for now russia is trying to decouple itself from the west
The russia Situation even puts china into question. We have to hold them accountable
Well said sir! Well said.
Not to mention that it would mean that western countries would engage in retaliatory expropriations. So far we've only fronzen their assets, not expropriated, but if the russians forcibly expropriate then we'll probably expropriate those assets as well
Probably a good way to convince the companies, which didn't abandon Russia yet, to leave.

It's not a financial bump but a financial dump.
Of course they'll return. It's a new market isn't it? Plus, remember why companies are doing this. Why are all companies pulling out. Magically. Because they all got told to do so by the US fed government. So far only Elon Musk refused his command to censor RT from starlink.
No company. No tourist. No nothing. Russia will be an enlarged craphole like Cuba.
@@herbertharris1663 yes, because China will choose trading with Russia over trading with EU+US... Their support for Russia will hold until they can't play both sides anymore and then they will go where the money is. Just compare the Russian economy with that of the EU or the US alone, its not even a competition lmao 🤣
China and India will. Russia isn't seizing assets indiscriminately like after the Communist revolution, they are only targeting corporations that are engaged in economic warfare with Russia. There's even still many Western companies doing business in Russia.
This further proves that investing in these regimes is never a good bet.

I wonder how Putin would feel if every Russian ship that carries oil or gas was "seized" in retaliation. As an Aussie I am stunned that we continue to trade with them after the sanctions on our beef,wine, timber, seafood, wheat,coal & other products. We should have instantly cut off the supply of iron ore & mineral sands. Now that would have put a spanner in there works, so to speak.
then Russian subs and RUAF will sink all oil tankers going to West, the time it would take to rebuild will ensure that Western economies are crippled.
it's not as easy as just cutting ties - you have to find new suppliers, new markets, or else you're just shooting yourself in the foot. And when your own economy is down, it drives up pro-fascist sentiments in society (much like in Russia itself).
And with Russia being the largest supplier of natural gas, you *have to* find a different source, which means someone else has to ramp up production, except producers would rather not do that, instead choosing to benefit from increased prices.
You get the idea - democracies can do a lot, but they are not all-powerful. At some point you will start injuring yourself more than you injure your opponent, and then you have to stop.
@@amoral_minority As the move is towards green energy, producers are hesitate to invest money for short-term price frustration. The longer the war and sanctions prolonged, the longer current situation will be.
I dont see the problem, US do the same with foreing assets.
Who is goin to board and seize these ships? Fly yr military commandoes over other sovereign country and hijack these ships?.
What if the captain purposely ground the ship.. and spill those oil in ya shores..?.
Can't work long term.
I dont think this is the main concerns of the businesses leaving, it could be due to how the movement of money. the businesses can have funds in russian bank accounts but they cant move them to the main accounts located in other counrties. also to pay international supplers they would need to pay from there accounts not in russia. if you have large amount of funds trapped in a country with currency value dropping you may lose more in the long run. the banking system lockout is a big issue for shareholders i would guess.
More important than the names of the companies that left Russia are the names of those that are still there, regardless of where their headquarters are, be it the UK, USA or China.

Threatening to steal their assets and arrest their people, yes that'll get them to stay and gladly too 🙄
If they leaving anyway☠️
means decoupling and cold war
Even if they keep paying their employees, their suppliers will lose their customers and they will have to lay off people, so there will definitely be a ripple effect.

Then they should cut off business to the US and most NATO countries too
You are just a bootlicking US puppet. The US are just same as Putin. They commit war crimes in Syria in 2019 but they use there UN power to veto it just like Russia veto.

If Russia bans the export of petroleum products and metals into the EU , what happens to the economy ?
You are referring to US and EU. Africa, Asia, Latin America, Former Soviet States will still trade with Russia. And don't get me wrong, after this war will subside, in 6 moths, the biggest buyers of russian commoditiies will be americans and europeans again - right away. Say Vitol or Glencore or any shady US company.
@@kentstructures4388 wrong comrade, when sanctions are in place they aren't removed 6 months later. The only people buying will be China and of course China will lose the 1.5 trillion trade with the EU and US for 120 billion from Russia so it's a lose-lose for both Russia and China. 🤣
North America has tons of oil America produces the most oil in the world Canada is top 3 and Mexico has a lot of oil . Europe just needs to build more ports to process it themselves

says marx and it was repeated for 79 years in russia . and the ussr went broke because of it. marx should of spoken too a bookkeeper and a farmer before he wrote the most boring economic book ever . marxism is a bust. no business works better then a one that works from the bottom up. labor is what causes economy. banks lending crazy amounts on say homes and cars like we do now is just causing more harm then good. the more diverse business is the more it produces for an economy.
No more big mac's!! I think Russia is much better off without Coca cola and McDonald.

@@quirbyjohntong8169 "once EU weaned off Russian gas"?
I first heard this 10 (or, maybe, even 20) years ago ....
Peace be unto you...
There is a lot more exports coming from Russia that supports large portions of the world's imports; wheat, barley, and fertilizer compounds which are all very important...
To weaken and destroy Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and Tunisia this war was necessary and is why the American Government instigated and taunted the Russian Government for some years now...
Watch how food products spike in price amongst other products because of oil and gas; price of plastic products increase because they are made with oil...
Inflation mixed with recession mixed with scarcity of products and commodities...
Warfare tactics to weaken nations to accomplish Foreign Policy agendas include sanctions against nations and entities, as well as, instigating uprisings to incite civil wars that interrupt global trading...
Once there are interruptions in global trading there can be individual targeting of countries...
There are too many scenarios and realities that are happening now and happened in the past...
Seed oils are damaging for the body and destroy mitochondria, so it is advised to use olive oil and to stop frying food and bake falafel instead of frying or sauté and make them thinner...
Fried foods are extremely bad for the health...
Using rice instead of wheat will also be a major change, but what else can people do, but find substitutions...
Protesting can only change the situation when 60% or more of the population rise up, yet, 1 million people can definitely make a change...
Yet, the entire world would need to rise up, but it still will not change what is happening, which is a trade war that started during ex-president Trump's Administration against the Chinese Government and the sanctions against the Iranian and Venezuelan Governments have also caused inflationary prices for goods and commodities around the world...
Now it is a trade war against the Russian Government, but look at its entirety and how the American Government benefits, but the American citizens have not benefited unless they have a stock and bonds portfolio following the trend of world events that lower and raise prices...
Take care and be true to your heart

Until they run out of every necessary recourse they might be able to do that.

It would be very tempting to buy S400 for just 5000$. If you can withstand the American sanctions that is. Soon the US would have to spend 2 Trillion on defense to keep the Wold obey its orders.
Wonderful. Russia has done the right thing to nationalize western assets as Russia gold and foreign reserve have been frozen in U$.
Sanctioned assets doesn't change ownership, its a temporary freeze. The government needs to battle in court to prove the asset was ill gained to change ownership (countries with rule of law). Nationalizing, changes ownership. You are using 2 different things interchangeably.
@@Sung-Park Well, ask Afghanistan if they can get their asset back when US uses 50% of Afghan's $9billion to pay for 9-11 victims in US. The other 50% is put in a trust. After all expensive admin fees, how much is left for Afghan people? Ask yourself about this.
@@Sung-Park Western countries are seizing Russian billionair's assets in Italy, US, Canada, Australia... etc. Do you think Russian can have them back? I heard that western countries are auctioning off Russian billionairs' assets right now. Don't be naive Sung Park. These Russian billionaires have nothing to do with Russian government and government's decision to enter Ukrain. So why seize their assets?
@@Sung-Park For sure, Korean assets will be nationalized in Russia too because Samsung and other korean companies are sanctioning Russia.
So true. I also think Russia has done the right thing as well.

Imminet domain purchase/acquisition, resumption, resumption/compulsory acquisition, or expropriation is the power of a state, provincial, or national government to take private property for public use
'Eminent', but yes. Doesn't make it a good idea though.
If Russia takes over the ownership of US companies. Then those companies should recover their losses from the billions being held in America and banks, property, etc.
lol how they taking over when all their money is spent on war. All they care about is was and destruction
@@ghostnights8538 nonsense
😂 I doubt the companies that pulled out are worried about their capital assets being seized. That's not where most of the value lies; it's in the product the company sells. Their stores are probably leased anyway so this is a lot puffing hot air.
For cocacola drinks is abit tricky because supply chain won't be there plus the concentrate comes from USA. It is only diluted in many local facilities including here in Kenya.~
This is a good interview with this lady. Thanks
This is no surprise, given the mentality of the people there. These companies should just write off these assets and destroy them to the extent that they can.
Writing off a huge amount of assets will have massive negative effect on their stock prices. Russia is a market of 155 million people. That is half of the EU population. There will be massive economic ramifications from this. Especially for companies like Coca Cola and McDonalds.
@@bubba842 lets not exagerate here. it will hurt a bit but that will be it for most companies.

With as many nostalgic references to the USSR that Putin has been making lately, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him start nationalizing *everything!*
No reason to. Only hostile Western companies. By the way French companies stay and keep working. So strange to see France having more sovereignty than Germany and now taking the lead in the EU because frankly current German government is pitiful.
Russia already took 476 commercial passenger airplanes worth $30 billion and $10 billion of that amount was an insurance liability carried by Lloyd's of London. Only 24, out of 500 foreign planes leased to Russian civil aviation companies were recovered.
Except that without the ability to maintain those planes with specialist equipment and skills, Russia will struggle to keep them airworthy at all over any significant length of time.
But where will the leased commercial passenger airplanes be ably to fly now ? and from where will they be getting the spare parts to keep them going for more than at best a month or so ?
@@agffans5725 russia has a lot of fuel for that plane they will convert that plane into an auto pilot unit and bomb ukraine cities for the pleasure of sanctions made....

Do not worry Miss Scarecrow, Russia will replace all these companies with own products or maybe with products from friendly countries!

You must imply it is not a good thing, taking someone else's property. Why would those assets have been frozen in a first place, then? I imagine because someone didn't like Russia's behavior. That comes another way too, russian government doesn't like people losing their jobs.
