    He can think anything he damned want. Just so long as it doesn’t go any further. Although, I’d like to see him attempt to declare war on Norway because of this… And their delicious sovereign wealth fund.

      Yeah, though, Russia’s foreign wealth wasn’t really much of a bargaining chip in its insanity – foreign countries have basically seized that wealth, and are handing it to Ukraine for war funding. If a bunch of Europeans have a bunch of money in the USA / US companies, that seems more like a risk for Europe than the USA – the USA could just seize it, and use it to fund bombs / propaganda to attack Europe. Even with Trumps shenanigans, it seems foreign investors are still piling money in to the USA (or at least they had been, I haven’t really looked at what the last couple weeks have done, admittedly).
