Leave your nation's money in a western bank, and it might not be yours for very long, especially if you in any way displease the U.S. and its client states.

Abstract:

Excerpt:

With the explanation that it had to punish Russia for its war in Ukraine, the west stole over $300 billion of Moscow's money. With the explanation that 9-11 families deserved compensation, the U.S. stole $7 billion from Afghanistan (oh no, it had nothing to do with revenge for losing the war, how could you even think such a thing?) With the explanation that, well, it just didn't like Venezuela, the U.K., or rather the Bank of England, stole roughly $2 billion of that country's gold.

See a pattern? Leave your nation's money in a western bank, and it might not be yours for very long, especially if you in any way bother western politicos, like having an economic system they disapprove of, or sending them packing when they invade your country, or telling NATO where to get off when it threatens to absorb a neighboring nation and plant missiles there.
