Why is germany against blocking swift?

Presumably exposure to Russian banks is higher and there's less to mitigate it with, but I would say that the real reason is that they think it will be the act that forces Putin to do something to the West and want to be sure before going for it.

A video out of a bridge being blown up by Ukranian forces to do with Kharkiv.

Anyone got any decent sources for following events on this? The news is ****, I still have no idea where they stand at the end of the first day.

Agenda-free tv on YouTube. Dude is a workhorse, as unbiased as you can be and pretty decent with the fact checking given the pace of developments.

Id imagine them apache type helis have done a lot of damage to Ukranian forces though

Possibly but I'm sure they are also taking casualties, I'm sure they have stingers etc to deal with them

Only this. Nothing else matters or ever has.

Also Germany has probably leant Russia a load of euros.

How are Germany going to pay Russia and in what currency.
But I think this is a moot point anyway

Still not sure what point you're trying to raise here, Russia is NOT cut off from SWIFT - Germany can pay them!

Slam62 said:
You may have missed some of the news

I'm sure there has been plenty of news, I likely have missed some of it but you're not being clear at all - if you've got some point to make then why not just make it and speak plainly?

A government's first priority is to it's people, is it not?

I'm sorry I thought Biden said Russia can't use major currencies but I must have misinterpreted that.

ADSB exchange seems to be working fine, as is flight radar

I suspect a few countries need a bit of time to do whatever needs to be done before they remove Russia from swift?

Interesting.

Putin is far from stupid.
