We’re not sitting by though
Honestly I'm not so sure this is a good move, directly punishing the people of a country for the actions of their dictator has historically never worked. But at least our governments are now doing something, which is a damn sight more than they were this time last week.Brilliant. I’d rather have no gas than buy anything from Russia right now. Screw them.
a selection of russian banks will be ejected from SWIFT, not all of them!
Fake, the video is cut up. Full video is the usual Russia position that they are not fighting people of Ukraine and that they are "fighting nazi kyiv junta"
They can overthrow the government and make a change for the better. It’s time for that to happen now.Honestly I'm not so sure this is a good move, directly punishing the people of a country for the actions of their dictator has historically never worked.

MORE: Russian banks which have previously been sanctioned will be disconnected from SWIFT; other Russian banks not affected
Follow the quotes back and you'll see where I posted itWhere is it reported they have family here please?
Whoa hang on there, if we cut Belarus out of Swift then nobody will be able to pay their World of Warships/World of Tanks subscriptions! xDThis is spectacularly backfiring on Putin. Let’s not forget scumbag Belarus in all of this.
Situation on the ground, seems to be that given the proliferation of anti air missiles, standard practice when a convoy gets hit on either side is to gtfo and retaliate away from vehicles. Combat has evolved, but I suspect one side will steam roll the other once they run out of manpads and more conventional air superiority kicks in.
Except they won't because punishing the people has historically been shown to make them more forgiving of their dictator and more hostile to the countries applying the sanctions. I.E Iran, North Korea, just about every other place we've tried targeting the people directly.They can overthrow the government and make a change for the better. It’s time for that to happen now.
