I'd never heard of SWIFT before all this. So basically, banning Russia from SWIFT would mean that international transactions with the Russians would pretty much require cash deliveries?
LOL so this is our big sanction? Slightly inconveniencing the Russians when they buy shit from other countries? Hahahahahaha
And it would inconvenience other countries just as much. Germany would have to start driving trucks full of money to Moscow to buy oil and gas.
They've done this before against Russia. It didn't work. But yes, this is basically the only thing they can do which they claim should put Putin under pressure.

LOL I didn't write it. I also call it Kiev.

>would pretty much require cash deliveries not in dollars, yen, euros and some other currencies. obv still use rubles or whatever shells they're using. of course gold and silver still walk the walk
Daniel Evans
>MUH CRIPPLING SANCTIONS But they can easily be defeated by pic related.
it's a way to undermine the old money and bring in e-money.

Why don't nations embargo each other anymore? All this talk about sanctions, but it all seems so limited when you consider how outraged everyone is acting.
Logan Jones
EU can't, because it buttfucks them harder than it buttfucks Russia. They have destroyed all their local energy production for 'MUH CLIMATE CHANGE' faggotry, but the problem is they still USE the same energy because liberals suck dick at actually suffering the consequences of their uppity ideals. So they just have to buy all their energy from Russia, which they can't stop doing or they'll fucking freeze.
Ukraine wants to blame someone for this? Go blame Greta Thunberg. That dumb cunt and retards like her fucked any ability the EU has to tell Russia to do anything.

Swift is past tense for Russia, Russians use the meria card system now and not Visa, Visa is swift. China, Russia and other BRICS countries use the meria system. Some more than others. Russia is a founding member of Swift and cannot be kicked out easily. Would need swift to be totally rebuilt if Russia wanted to leave. If they did it would destroy Germany hence the British are pushing for this. Remember is was the British that advised the EU to turn down long term Russian gas contracts and buy on the spot market instead knowing that it would cripple the German economy!

Russia won't even need Brinks trucks. Jewish banks are so greedy they will jusy process checks and wires to and from Russia the old fashioned way before SWIFT existed for a nominal fee.
Sanctions never work because Jews are too greedy to say no to transactions they can charge a special handling fee on.
SWIFT is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications. It's essentially an international communication network between banks. Banning them from SWIFT will do nothing.

Correct. The "The" is necessary, although I'm sometimes too lazy to type it.
It's Kiev. Just like this gin I'm drinking is Bombay Sapphire.

>Germany would have to start driving trucks full of money to Moscow to buy oil and gas. No, they will definitely exempt this and luxury goods for the rich.
