How to use plunder in a sentence?

1. Vladimir Putin:

   The liberal idea presupposes that nothing needs to be done. The migrants can kill, plunder and rape with impunity because their rights as migrants must be protected. What rights are these? Every crime must have its punishment, so, the liberal idea has become obsolete. It has come into conflict with the interests of the overwhelming majority of the population.

2. Laksheish M Patel:

   It is intraday clossing session time and like everyday SBICap broker has made its trading platform pages unresponsive. It is all deliberate done to plunder

3. Friedrich August von Hayek:

   With the exception only of the period of the gold standard, practically all governments of history have used their exclusive power to issue money to defraud and plunder the people.

4. Marco Rubio:

   While the Cuban people suffer from the collapse of Cuba's non-functioning communist economy, GAESA functions to allow a small circle of regime elites to plunder all the remaining resources of the island, squirreling away as much as $20 billion in illicit funds away in hidden overseas bank accounts.

5. Aloo Denish Obiero:

   In the hands of humanity lies the sacred duty to nurture, not deplete; to protect, not plunder. Our legacy is not measured in conquest but in conservation.
