The West on Sunday imposed a ban on SWIFT, excluding Russia from the global payments system as a stringent response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Bank runs happens, Trudeau just survived one.

Trudeau had it all in his hand, the government had ratified his power grab even though there was no crisis (never was a real one but even the fake one was over), and he was essentially the dictator of Canada.

Then a bank run happened. That ended his tenure as dictator. Yes bank runs happen, and when they do they destroy political careers. Trudeau surrendered. What will Putin do if the people are massed in the streets to in front of the Kremlin demanding their damned money that the banks won't give them?

But again. reporting is unreliable. It's either an unmitigated disaster for Putin in every way (in which case he's probably a goner) or the reporting is questionable. I dont know which it is. Time will tell.

We know how to handle bank runs.

The Federal Reserve will simply send truck after truck of cash until dozens of people get robbed of their life savings and people then line up to put money back in the bank.

On Tuesday it will be March 1st and rent will be due. Fear will disappear along with most of the account balances of most accounts.

All Putin has to do is give the order and Kyiv will be rubble.

In 1940 Hitler was able to level a large part of Rotterdam in a day.

Sending weapons to Ukraine only prolongs and extends the suffering.

Given WW2 and what Russians suffered through then, I very much doubt that short-term banking issues will phase them much. And after the short term, Russia will simply print the currency they need, since they now have the gold to back it up.

“Putin is calling for help from Belarus. Not good.”

Why would he do that publicly?

Of course, both are controlled by Klaus Schwab and the WEF, who want the ‘great reset’, aka ‘the great leap backwards’ to feudalism!

True-dolt IS part of the WEF but I don’t think XiJinBiden is. XiJinBiden is however, controlled by WEF types in his Cabinet, who push him that way.

1. Putin keeps Crimea
2. No NATO for Ukraine
3. Ukraine keeps water flowing to Crimea and charges Russia for it
4. Donbass regions get autonomy
5. Russia gets the hell out of the rest of Ukraine

I think you need to add that the Russians will:

6. Establish a land connection to Crimea through the provinces of Kherson and Zaporizhia.

I hope any deal is strictly between Russia and Ukraine, with the outsiders staying out of it. And that this agreement is a permanent solution, and we won’t have to go through this again in a few years. And yes, it means Ukraine may have to make some concessions.

The bridge between Russia and its naval bases in Crimea over the Strait of Kerch is 10 miles long (17 km for the Eurotrash trolls). This is an very vulnerable chokepoint for military resupply of their naval base. I think that is the major reason behind this war.

Vovochka already has a land rout to Crimea. There's a bridge across the straits separating Crimea from Russia proper. Crimean Bridge

"Vovochka already has a land rout to Crimea. There's a bridge across the straits separating Crimea from Russia proper. Crimean Bridge."

If you look at some of my later comments you will see that that the Crimean Bridge is 10 miles long over the Strait of Kerch and it is extremely vulnerable to missiles, and aircraft. A bridge that long is not a land route.

The other day people were saying that China is watching this invasion and the reaction of the west. Now I think China is seeing how Ukraine is fighting and know that Taiwan will fight for sure. And the Chicoms don’t want to look like the Ruskies.

do people in Taiwan have access to guns?
