Hundreds of Jets Are Stuck in a Fight Between Russia and the West | WSJ



Russia is holding more than 400 Western-owned planes inside its borders, giving leasing companies little chance of getting them back. The move could mean billions of dollars in losses for Western insurers and problems ahead for Russian airlines. Photo illustration: Laura Kammermann

  1. As Putin has confiscated these aircraft and now they are considered Russian property, why doesn’t the West reimburse the lease holders from Russian funds (frozen) held by the West?

  3. There might be a bigger picture we aren't seeing yet. Putin may be trying to cut all ties with the west, no airliners, no business, no trade, nothing, nada. Then he and the Chinese can form their own world, their own universe, so to speak. It all boils down to a choice between controlled CLOSED societies and democratic OPEN societies. Maybe "communism" is gone, but the idea of people control, thought control, absolute control still remains. And THAT may be what putin is really after.

  4. Humanity don’t understand this argument that an innocent kid would like to understand because is wise, otherwise something would have been done about the squandering of fortunes and the war.
    What can be done with the gold in reserves like in the Fort Knox in America? Only to sell it. How much cost taxpayers to protect the gold? Fortunes. To sell the gold today spares to pay for the protection tomorrow. The gold market is going to crash and i defend my word against any economist past or present. Russia could go bankrupt and end the war in Ukraine. I think we live in an horrible world, and I was said it is the only one we have. I have to keep trying. I am not given a voice in any news media in the world.

  5. Griner: We the People invested the wealth of this nation to ensure freedom, finances, and ALL other support for her to become the best version of herself – highest level of success. Brittany, in response, chose to take a knee, espouse anti-American rhetoric. She deserves to be Exiled by US.
