    the Canadians, and through them the West and the Rules Based International Order, are showing that they will dispense with the thing supposedly at the foundation of liberalism, the sanctity of private property, if you happen to be on the right enemies list that day

        nope, white countries maintain that your investments are safe there regardless of your politics or national origins.

        now that they are seizing property based on politics, what makes that any different from any other country that expropriates property as needed?

          Not sure where my reply went.

          Russia has stolen airliners from the west that were under lease. If you act like an animal then you get treated as one.

            russia doesn’t pretend to be a rules based international order™ country.

          That’s not really new and a fair confiscation since Russia has stolen multiple airliners.
