Biden Targets Putin’s Oligarchs 😳

Rob Moore breaks down U.S. and U.K. sanctions targeting 47 Russian oligarchs, their families, and associates through asset freezes and financial system access cuts. He argues cutting off money to Russia's war machine is more effective than military aid, and criticizes media censorship of dissenting voices on the conflict.

President Biden targets Putin's oligarchs. He's going to cut off the supply of money. War needs money. So the US has just announced fresh sanctions on oligarchs, like I think 47 of them. So I think this is big news, and here's why. At the start of this process of war and invasion on Ukraine, Um, I said that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and you cannot invade and behave in a dictatorial or totalitarian fashion. You cannot start or be involved in war without an equal and opposite reaction. Abramovich is selling Chelsea, looks like he's getting forced out of the UK, because he won't be doing that because he wants to do that, let's be honest. Um, and now Biden is going for the elite, the oligarchs. Um, so I'm just going to share with you the latest news. I've got a couple of things of my own to add and just share the reasons why I am making statements on this when I'm an entrepreneur, because let's all be honest, if we're fighting a global war, there's no entrepreneurship. I ain't no good with guns, I'm much better with business. So new penalties will target members of the elite of the invading country, their families, their close associates, and cutting them off from the US financial system. And Joe Biden, US president, says, and I quote, the goal is to maximize the impact on Putin. Putin's press secretary is amongst those targeted in the financial blockade, as they're calling it, which is cutting off freezing their US assets and cutting off the money supply in and out of the invading country. So Putin's press secretary is already sanctioned by the EU and now joins a list of 8 oligarchs and nearly 2 dozen of their family members and associates. So they're not just going for the oligarchs, they're going for their family members and their associates. Their UK— their US assets will be frozen. Um, and their US properties will be blocked from use. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and I would be very grateful if you would share this video because I think it's important that we create the opposite reaction. We put these people into power to lead our countries. We must hold them accountable. It's easy to say, oh well, I'm not in, you know, those Eastern European countries Therefore, it's not my responsibility. I'll just watch from the sidelines. But for me, um, that is not, um— we must all take a stand against things that are wrong for our global brothers and sisters and family members. You know, we're all one humanity. Um, okay, so another 19 oligarchs, including Putin ally Alisher, uh, Buranovich, uh, also someone associated with Arsenal Football Club 4, and 47 of their family members will face U.S. visa restrictions. And to quote, these individuals have enriched themselves at the expense of the Russian people. The White House said on Thursday, we will continue to work with our allies and partners to hold accountable the oligarchs and corrupt leaders who are profiting from this violent regime. Earlier this week, Biden had promised to go after oligarchs who have stolen billions of dollars off this violent regime when speaking at the Ukraine crisis, uh, his State of the Union address. Um, our interest is maintaining the strongest unified economic impact on Putin in all history, and I think we're well on the way of doing that. And the UK have also waded in with further sanctions against oligarchs this Thursday. So number 1, let me know what you think. Will has asked Do I agree with the government sanctions on the oligarchs? I think if there really is a war going on, which it seems to me that there is, but there's a lot of fake images and there's a lot of propaganda in the media, and my message through this has been very consistent. I'm not on the ground in Ukraine. I'm not Putin's best mate. I don't know what's really, really going on, and I don't think any of us do. So that's why it's important to get balanced media. I try and be balanced where I can and try and look look at different sources and resources and research. So if there's a war going on, do I agree with freezing assets of people linked to the war? Well, I think it's a good way to slow the war or stop it. Let's be honest, war needs money. Cutting off the money supply is like cutting off the oxygen supply. So I can— would I rather they cut off the money supply than they sent in the tanks and the bombs and the planes? Yes, absolutely, absolutely would much rather that happen. So if this can work, for me, this is better than trying to wade in, because, you know, if, if this— these little— not little, but, you know, these local intercontinental or country wars can turn into world wars. So yeah, I hope it works, but I can't comment exactly what's going on. Let me know what you think is going on, because do you know what, in my comments here, I get a lot of really interesting discussion points, debate points, and opinions. Some people think there isn't going on a war going on. Some people think it's More NATO's responsibility? I'd love to know your thoughts, by the way. I'd love you to share your research. But my overriding message is this: let's make peace, not war. Surely we're more evolved a humanity. Surely we're beyond being barbarians now. We can use intellect and technology rather than guns and hate and power and greed. And if you'd agree with that, I would encourage you to hit the share button. I much prefer financial sanctions than tanks and bombs and planes for sure. So let's make peace, not war. Number one message I suppose I'm trying to share. Please hit the share button. Number two, I'm an entrepreneur. I help people start and scale their business, get better financial education and knowledge. I've got a podcast called Disruptors. I've written 18 business-related books. Many of you know that, and some people have been saying, well, Rob, you've been talking a lot about worldviews, about freedom of speech, about mainstream media attack on Joe Rogan, about, you know, the war going on, but Now that I've got more than a million followers on my social media, I think it's really important to use our profile, our platform, and our social media for positive change. And if there's a war, the last thing we're all going to be doing is worrying about being an entrepreneur. So I know some of you feel I'm a bit off the beaten track, but I actually feel like it's more important than ever that I stand up and talk about these issues. I'm very careful not to comment on what I don't know about, and If I am referring to things I think could have variables, I share that. But I'll give you an example of how I've evolved, and let me know what you think about this in the comments. But my podcast used to be called Disruptive Entrepreneur, uh, 800 episodes, 6-year anniversary, and I've now rebranded it to Disruptors. And I'm now interviewing world leaders, thought leaders wider than just entrepreneurship, to deal with these big issues of freedom of speech and war and all this political censoring, etc. And for me, you know, that's a responsibility of mine. So actually, if you'd like to subscribe to my podcast, which is rebranded— I'm talking to some big world leaders and billionaires who have political influence— coming soon, just go to robmoore.com/pod. I've got some gifts for you there. I'm supposed to be celebrating the 6-year anniversary of my podcast, the 15-year anniversary of my company, But, you know, these worldviews take precedent.

I want to share some names of some massive thought leaders and world leaders that I'm talking about having on the show, but until they're agreed, I'll keep it a secret, but I've got some big names. Okay, I believe our freedom is being violated. I believe war violates our freedom. Um, it, it, there are 39 outstanding reports and cases of crimes against humanity in this war. I also believe with, you know, the censoring and the deplatforming and the, the big tech, um, kind of canceling any talk around Russia and COVID and anything like that, I think that that's wrong. I think the mainstream media you know, pushing to cancel Joe Rogan. I think that's wrong. There's a lot of things wrong with the world right now, and our freedom is being violated, and we must stand against our freedom being violated. Whether it's our property rights freedom because war is invading us, whether it's our freedom of thought and freedom of speech and freedom to express, I think we must stand for these. If you agree, please hit the share button because I think we're getting attacked on all different levels. Physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social, everywhere. And it's wrong. Really neutral, unbalanced media are not neutral and unbalanced anymore. You know, you're, you're canceled for misinformation even though your information is correct and their information is misinformation. This is wrong. This has to stop, and we have to take a stand together. And that's why I've been doing regular content on this. I hope you find it useful. By the way, I do post about 3 times a day, and in the afternoons and evenings UK time, I do post stuff on business and money. I have a podcast called Disruptors, which has got a lot of entrepreneur-type content on it. But I hope you'll support me in using my platform for good. So please hit the share button. Quick summary then is Biden targets Putin's oligarchs. The US has announced fresh sanctions on these oligarchs. They're cutting the money supply. I personally would much rather they cut the money supply than send in the planes. But I believe every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and that now with war you are seeing, um, you know, the oligarchs frozen, their assets in the UK and the money flow to and from frozen, Abramovich pushed out of, um, the UK, it looks like. I mean, he's not going to sell Chelsea out of his own accord. They're targeting about 47 oligarchs and their family members. They're restricting visas, they're cutting the money supply to them and from them, they're freezing their money and their assets. In the US and the UK. And, um, to me it's better than sending in the planes. Please hit the share button. Thanks for tuning in. Let me know what your thoughts are on this situation in the comments. Have you got any fresh research? Do you think that there's anything that the media are hiding from us, or any, any kind of fake news or imagery? Because I've seen some of that. I'd love your thoughts. I do read the comments. I do appreciate you following me. Thanks for your support. And remember this: If you don't risk anything, you risk everything. And the thing I've been saying over and over, fear screams loudest when it's dying. And I believe these totalitarian regimes and dictators, whether it's Putin or Trudeau of Canada, or maybe they're not fully totalitarian or dictatorial, but there's certainly some behaviors of that. Like, for example, freezing and seizing bank accounts if you were financially linked in any way to the trucking protest. To me, that's at least a crime against your freedom, if not a crime against humanity, although, you know, they didn't kill anyone. But, you know, you can't come and freeze my bank because I donated $30 to a trucker or because I'm protesting against something that you as a government fundamentally messed up. So I believe that was a fear-based decision because it was totalitarian control. It was power, you know, instead of discussion. Debate, negotiation, meeting in the middle, you know, trying to support your people. All these people are protesting against the Canadian government. The Canadian— these people put the Canadian government there. It's wrong. Trying to cancel Joe Rogan and decentralized creators, it's wrong. Just because mainstream media figures are going through the floor, don't try and shoot everyone else down. Step up your game. You know, all these mainstream media outlets that are dying, find out what people want. Decentralize your content. Tell the fucking truth. That's why people love Joe Rogan, because he tells the truth more than mainstream media. And there's no bullshit fact-checking. BBC have their own fact-checking section. That means our biased, you're wrong and we're right checking system. It's all nonsense. Thanks for tuning in. Hit the share button. Mainstream media are scared. Dictators are scared. The totalitarian regimes are scared. The New World Order— they are scared because people like me can rant and get half a million views, and people like Joe Rogan could have 20 million followers. You can make a difference. I used to not talk about these things thinking that I couldn't make a difference. We can make a difference. Stand up and speak out and hit the share button. And thanks for tuning in.
