    SWIFT is secure chat that you are held accountable for. It’s not a transaction system. It’s one of those things where others have tried to compete but no luck.

    For example.

    Glencore has selected ICE Instant Messaging (IM) for its oil trading division.

    You have to hold a few sanctions back for leverage. Biden got it right.

    I’d just like to hear things like Roman Abramovich can no longer own Chelsea. Or better, we just take it away.

    Are we there yet?

    RT news should be shut down and all its “American” pundits should be sanctioned.

    Isn’t this a bit too late?

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree on Thursday ordering a general mobilisation as his country faces a large-scale invasion by Russian troops.

    I’m from Ukraine. This is all so fucked up beyond belief. MIL still there. And lots of friends who have children and some have grandkids. Kremlin/KGB have lost their fucking mind. I’m basically in shock.

    Vibes, I hope they can all get out. I'm 100% good with all the refugees and immigrants that want to come here living in my state/town/block.

    Did any body catch Bidens speech today? I'm not a hater but that was painful to watch. He was struggling and it felt almost light, he cracked smiles as he backpedaled after forgetting what he was saying. It's not a good look.

    man, i totally disagree. biden has been fire with calling all of putin’s moves, and he didn’t say anything stupid to push us to the brink. keep corralling our allies, keep exerting pressure. the only question he dodged was about china which is fair. but of course, i listened on the radio so i don’t know if he had the wrong color suit on or if he didn’t look as strong as putin when he backed off the podium like what gop members are tweeting. dipshits.

    Taking one for the team and watching Tucker.

    It’s already not going well. Already ball licking Putin’s dream of a reunited USSR with Lucas Thomas declaring Putin’s falsehood that Ukrainian and Russian people are “one.”

    Thanks for the recap of the day.

    I was very surprised Chernobyl was at the top of the list for Russia. It’s still an active nuclear reactor correct?

    We just watched an interview with guys after getting their assigned guns. One guy was given two AR15’s and 2 big bags of ammo. Said he had no idea how to use them, never fired a gun, and he was gonna try and find a quiet place to figure it out.

    Vibes.

    Didn't watch the speech, just the clips, he seemed ok to me. I try and remember that he is old as fuck and has a speech impediment so if he is careful with his words I take that as a good thing.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    Fuckin Putin. I haven't had this tight feeling in my chest since Dumps was in office. I am beyond frustrated with the inaction of the EU to kick Putin repeatedly in the nuts. I can only hope they wake up in the coming days.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    JFC this is ominous:

    @marcorubio
    We have only seen the opening phase of #Putin’s barbaric plan,but it has been more difficult than he expected

    There are now indications #Kyiv may soon be the focus of his rage, and then the entire world would come face to face with a depravity not seen in 80 years

    Ha! Too funny man. Still older and still mad about something. It’s all good, I’m subscribed to this nonsense while I wait at baggage claim. Cant wait to see what’s next!

    Sorry to hear Lvovsky. This is so fucked. And the West's only recourse is sanctions...
    I truly hope your relatives all get out of this ok.

    \.
    I read somewhere that this give Russia a place to stage from where they can't be shelled for fear of stirring up the topsoil and the buried fallout.

    Totally a coincidence, but I have been reading Midnight in Chernobyl for the past month. What a colossal screw up that whole ordeal was across the board at all levels of the plant and national apparatus.

    Tucker and his cadre are the best friend Putin has on TV.

    Pushing The Big Lie that NATO is a “legitimate threat” to Russian Security.

    NATO isn’t a threat to Russia and never has been. NATO is only a threat to expanding Russian aggression, ie Putin, and not a threat to Russia.

    I am very sorry Lvovsky.

    Fuck Putin.
