Credit card giants Mastercard and Visa late Monday began blocking Russian banks from access to their networks.
“As a result of sanction orders, we have blocked multiple financial institutions from the Mastercard payment network,” the company said in a statement. “We will continue to work with regulators in the days ahead to abide fully by our compliance obligations as they evolve.”
Visa is reported to have taken similar action.

How much are you willing to pay in additional gas and oil prices to assist the Ukraine?
Do you want all Americans to share in this cost?
It’s Biden’s fault that gas prices are high, not Ukraine’s.
It's not a zero sum game as Brandon and the Left believes. We could "increase" domestic production. Supply doesn't have to be static.
Welcome to the New World Order
The globalists took out America. Now they are trying to take down Russia. If propaganda could do it, it would be a done deal today. Watch next for the forming of ten global leaders in one form of power. From that beast will rise antichrist.
is it possible to short rubles to make obscene amount of money?
America has not been taken out.
The midterms are on the way.
And Trump will win in 2024.
The U.S. imports 844,000 barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia. This will go up related to Biden's sanctions.
So again, How much are you personally willing to pay in increases and why?
It’s not a neocon argument. And your complaint is invalid. Putin invaded. One way or the other your gas and oil prices are going up. Biden doesn’t have a vote.
It is amazing to watch it happen!
Show me from Scripture.
The virtue signalling over all this is absolutely astronomical !
It’s Biden’s fault that gas prices have doubled since Trump was president, not Ukraine’s. You sound like a democrat. Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
The U.S. imported 844,000 barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia. Ukraine sanctions will drive this cost up.
How much more are you willing to pay and why?
If these financial and bank institutions keep this stuff up we’ll all be on Internet currency in no time.
A warning from history
When German Immigrants Were America’s Undesirables

From $40 to $90 per barrel *PRE UKRAINE*
Since Biden's Ukraine sanctions, the PPB is up $10.
How much more are you willing to spend and why?
The war is happening. The supply chain is interrupted. Anything else going on is just icing. Welcome to reality.
Choke Putin!
Of course in that situation Germany was solidly the enemy. There’s really no good reason why Putin decided the west still has to be the enemy. He’s just keeping the old ways. We’ve got enough trade going with Russia that he could easily have realized this isn’t the world of 30+ years ago and Russia could probably even join NATO if they really wanted to. But he likes having enemies, and then we land here. It’s not like Ukraine was really for Russia anyway, the only question was how formally are they for somebody else.
