On a related note, Russia is getting awful saucy.
Only a good smack in the face is going to potentially solve that.
Starts with what I said yesterday, I believe it was. Immediate removal from SWIFT. And I would threaten arms imports to Ukraine. The moment Russia doesn't live up to expectations, F-16s are flying in the Ukrainian Air Force. And Putin is reminded to keep it civil.
Are you serious?! The whole reason the US is cris-crossing the globe flexing our military might is to protect SWIFT and the petro-dollar. One of our biggest fears is that Russia and China leave the SWIFT system, start their own and begin recruiting the world into their system and away from our own (which they have begun, by the way).
As soon as the world has an alternative to the global bankers fleecing them in the SWIFT system, the USA becomes a 2nd world country since we've moved away from manufacturing to the debt-based system we have now.
