In this commentary, the speaker outlines the recent UK sanctions that have frozen roughly $15 billion in assets belonging to Roman Abramovich and six other Russian oligarchs, including jets, yachts, and the ownership of Chelsea Football Club. He cites statements from UK officials such as Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, who accuse the oligarchs of having "blood on their hands" for supporting Vladimir Putinâs war in Ukraine. The speaker argues that, following Newtonâs third law, each action (the war and the sanctions) provokes an equal and opposite reaction, leading to a cascade of secondary effects: the shutdown of Chelseaâs ticket sales and merchandise, a hit to the UK economy, and broader knockâon impacts on trade, oil prices, and financial markets. He then shifts to concerns about freedom of speech, noting Facebookâs temporary allowance of violent language against Russian invaders and Elon Muskâs refusal to curb Russian information flow, questioning where the line between hate speech and legitimate dissent lies. Throughout, he frames these geopolitical developments as directly relevant to his audienceâs interests in entrepreneurship, financial education, and free trade, urging viewers to share the video and engage in discussion. The commentary ends with a call to action for sharing and commenting, emphasizing the interconnectedness of global politics, economic freedom, and personal business success.

Abramovich and 6 new oligarchs have just had $15 billion in assets frozen. Chelsea Football Club, jets, yachts, you name it. Now, um, some people in the UK government, the Foreign Secretary for example, have accused the Russian oligarchs and Abramovich of having blood on their hands, the blood of the Ukrainian people on their hands. Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, has said there can be no safe havens for those who have supported Putin's vicious assault on Ukraine. He goes on to say, we will be ruthless in pursuing those who enable the killing of civilians, destruction of hospitals, and illegal occupation of sovereign allies. So I've been saying for a little while that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And now the actions of warâ and not just the actions of war, but the actions of being associated with people who incite warâ there is now the reaction. Unfortunately, I think there'll be a reaction to the reaction. So if the reaction to supporting Putin according to NATO or UK or US governments, like they believe Abramovich has been supported by and supported Putin. The reaction to war and supporting Putin is, um, assets frozen to the tune of $15 billion, uh, and sanctions and travel bans, uh, and the seizure of yachts and jets and football clubs. But unfortunately, this needs to be said The reaction to that, if every action has an equal and opposite reaction, unfortunately, is Chelsea fans and Chelsea Football Club are going to be greatly affected. There will be no more, um, ticket sales. The merch shop has closed. And of course, the future of Chelsea is in, um, a great amount of doubt. Now, a football club like Chelsea generates a huge amount of economy for the UK, and a huge amount of economy has been generated by these, um, 7, including Abramovich, Russian oligarchs, whether the origin of their money wasâ had blood on their hands or not. So I really do believe the UK economy is going to be vastly hit by this war. This is not just a local war. This will affect the UK economy greatly. The soar in oil and gas prices, um, of course the trade restrictions between Russia and the rest of the world. And all these oligarchs who reside in the UK and have maybe had some safe haven, if they're being extradited, sanctioned, assets frozen, or restricted to travel or sell or trade, there is going to be a big knock-on in the UK or the US economy. I really do believe that, because every action has an equal and opposite reaction, which has an equal and opposite reaction, which has an equal and opposite reaction. So I wonder if you might find it useful to share this content, because I'm not just reporting on what's going on in the world, uh, I'm also looking at how it affects you, how it affects our country, how it affects our economy, how it affects our business, how it affects our ability to trade, how it affects our freedom of speech, how it affects our ability to be an entrepreneur, which is of course, um, why most of you follow me. I'm going to report today or tomorrow on something I think is quite sensational or shocking, and that is that Facebook will be allowing someâ should we call it hate speech? In fact, let me just tell you, this video I will do in a few hours or a day's time, and then I'll do a quick summary. But check this out. I can't believe this. Facebook to allow calls for violence against Putin. Facebook will allowâ has made temporary allowances for violent speech. For example, death to the Russian invaders. Wow. I mean, I've been saying that big tech and mainstream media have become maybe too powerful, and you know, what is freedom of speech? Well, whatâ whatever big tech and mainstream media allow us to say. And that's got to stop. That has to stop. And, um, I understand that, you know, most of us believe the, um, Russians are the perpetrators and Ukraine are the innocent party. Most of us believe that. Not all believe that, by the way. Uh, manyâ some people think NATO are the perpetrators. Let me know what you think in the comments, by the way. Um, I'm not here to judge, um, just here to share my opinion, and I try to make it relatively balanced. We're all somewhat biased, and I try to get media from relative and multiple sources, even though I can only get media from sources of the media that I can find? And how do I know that this media doesn't have biases? So I understand the paradox there. But for Facebook to have control to say, hmm, we're going to allow temporary violent speech like death to the Russian invaders, I am not sure about that. I am really not sure about that. Anyway, I will do another video on the issues of freedom of speech and censorship, etc., because I think it's absolutely vital to keep speaking up and out about that. If you agree with me, please hit the share button. Um, so Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned, you probably know that, for his links with, um, Putin. Uh, and him and 6 other oligarchs have had $15 billion in assets frozenâ jets, football clubs, travel bans, Yachts, you name it. Boris Johnson said there can be no safe havens for those who have supported Putin's vicious assault on Ukraine. We will be ruthless in pursuing those who enable the killing of civilians, the destruction of hospitals, and illegal occupation of sovereign allies. It could be deemed that war crimes have been committed. I mean, you know, wars happen. I'm not running a government. I can't say what's driven it. But to bomb innocents and civilians, that's clearly morally and ethically depraved. Clearly. So Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the government targeted the oligarchs to ramp up the pressure on Putin regime and choke off funds to his brutal war machine. She rhymed it there. Ramp up the pressure on the Putin regime and choke off funds to his brutal war machine. She's a poet. Now, I actually do believe that choking off the information and choking off the financial supply is far better than sending in chemical or nuclear weapons or getting involved in war by sending in planes. I do believe that to be a better outcome. Let me know what you think about that. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said, with their close links to Putin, they are complicit in his aggression. The blood of the Ukraine people is on their hands. They should hang their heads in shame. What do you think about that? Um, it's difficult for me to say. Um, what I understand, the, um, complicit nature of these oligarchs with Putin. Who knows? Um, described as a pro-Kremlin oligarch, the Chelsea FC owner Abramovich was hit with an asset freeze and a travel ban. He's got 81 days to sell Chelsea apparently, and 6 new oligarchs who are perceived to have had a close relationship for decades with Mr Putin are also being sanctioned and their assets frozen. Hmm. People who've had links with Putin decades ago and then he goes and decides to declare war decades on. Hmm. That has some moral challenges. Paradoxes for me, I believe. Let me know what you think about that, by the way. Okay, um, the UK government has said Mr. Abramovich had received financial benefits from the Kremlin, including tax breaks for his companies, the buying and selling of shares from and to the state at favorable rates, and contacts in the run-up to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Downing Street's open to the sale of Chelsea as planned by Abramovich, but said a separate license would need to be approved, and under no circumstances would any, um, sale allow Abramovich to profit in any way. No new tickets can be sold for Chelsea Football Club. The merchandise shop has to close. Jets and yachts and, um, travel bans imposed and assets frozen. ÂŁ9.4 billion just off Abramovich and ÂŁ15 billion off another 6 oligarchs. Are set to be frozen. That's what's going on in the world right now. I believe that to be as accurate as I could find in my research. And there's some definite paradoxes and quandaries and hypocrisies going on here. And let's be honest though, war is not the answer. And We should be able to have freedom of our property rights. I do believe that, um, drying up the financial flow and the trade flow and even the information flow, I do believe that's better than sending in planes and this becoming a world war. But big tech and mainstream media, for example, Elon Musk said he had some government requests to stop information flow from Russia, and he said, I'm not going to do that because I'm a free speech absolutist. So out of this is becoming even more free speech and information challenges on our freedom. And where's the line? Like Facebook allowing hate speech against Russian invasion. But isn't all hate speech wrong? Why is this hate speech right? Anyway, let me know what you think in the comments. Hit the share button. 15 billion have been frozen of Russian assets, uh, of 7 oligarchs in the UK, uh, and there's blood on their hands according to the UK government. Uh, but I think this is going to greatly hit the UK economy. It's greatly going to hit Chelsea Football Club, which is greatly going to hit the economy. In London and the $15 billion of assets that these oligarchs have in the, in, in the UK, how much economy and GDP is related to that. Make no mistake about this, this is a global economic impact, not just in Russia and Ukraine. Be ready, be aware, be vigilant. Thanks for tuning in, thanks for following my work, thanks for sharing my work. My video yesterday is nearly 600,000 views. Thank you so much for sharing my content and supporting, you know, my voice. Why am I talking about this as much, if not more, than entrepreneurship and starting your business and getting better financial education and knowledge? Because that is my ultimate niche, or how I help the world. My personal vision to help as many people on this planet start and scale their business, get better financial education and knowledge. But without a thriving economy and without freedom of information, Um, how can we even start and scale and thrive a business? And with wars going on and censorship and, you know, asset freezing and government intervention so high at the moment, you know, these are world things we need to sort out if we're going to be able to have free trade. Um, so yeah, I think it's really important. So thanks for the support. If you wouldn't mind hitting the share button, this is big news. And let me know what you think in the comments.
