The only problem with that is Europe will also get poorer. Why do you think there are still some European countries against banning Russia from the swift payment system. Europe is already facing an energy crisis, The dispute between Morocco and Algeria has already stopped gas into Spain/Portugal. Stop the supply from Russia and it would be a whole other level.
Rightfully so. All of these journos are asking silly questions.
Tomorrow they are threatening to speak in the harshest possible terms
They are underground. Must be a logistical nightmare getting food in.Genuinely how is that possible? It been less than a day.
Not unless he promises something huge.Biden dodges China question. Any chance he is trying to deal with China in sanctioning Russia, which seems like a lost cause.
Biden is a bit of a joke but be under no illusions. Trump would have been praising Putin at this point.He’s what people wanted right? All the ignorance over trump and this is what people get. A guy who can barely speak and a puppet.
They elected a clown as president nothing less to be expected
That's worst sign of all. Let's hope it's just temporary.A friend in uni in Kharkiv says they are running out of food.
Not unless he promises something huge.
I dunno, he kept avoiding the questions about sanctioning Putin now.
Attacking a nato country was the impression I gotOne of the journos asked the same question I have largely been asking - if not now, when? What more escalation is needed?
If it is announced in the open yes.It's an odd one. If he did concede something to Chaina, the right in the US would swallow him no matter what the outcome did for the rest of the world
Really?! Not through Chernihiv?Dunno if answered already, but its their best route to Kyiv from the North.
Then the sanctions will be laser guided.Attacking a nato country was the impression I got
There's a NATO summit tomorrow and tbh, can the US do everything by themselves?One of the journos asked the same question I have largely been asking - if not now, when? What more escalation is needed?
He'd have nuked them by nowYou genuinely think Trump would handle this better?
Yep, they're basically prioritising a sensational headline over the necessary ambiguity required for strategic sanction responses as events unfold.Rightfully so. All of these journos are asking silly questions.
I don't think putin would be that stupid though. He'll stop at Ukraine.Then the sanctions will be laser guided.
He would have done feck all and just let Putin do what he wanted without consequence.He'd have nuked them by now
It's actually the people who are against paying a high price to help Ukraine.German and Italian citizens need to take it to the street to make sure SWIFT is passed.
So, nothing major then for now. I wonder if NATO will help Ukraine with arms from behind the scene.
Hope that CNN reporter got out in time... Ukranian army attacked, retreated back, then leveled the area with artillary and are now mopping up.
This the same guy that was praising Putin just yesterday, you mean?He'd have nuked them by now
It hurts Europe more than most so SWIFT and other measures aren't as simple as some want it to be. Are you willing to be destitute for the sake of showing Russia who's boss? Are Germans willing to tank their economy when they might not have to?There's a NATO summit tomorrow and tbh, can the US do everything by themselves?
Germany and Italy new to stop being so focussed on their inner issues and think it could get worse.
Who knows. He could have told Putin anything from 'offering US assistance to invade Ukraine', to 'throwing a thousand nukes, the best nukes, you know Vlad that we have better and larger nukes that you, to Moscow' and everything in between.You genuinely think Trump would handle this better?
They already are openly right?
Really?! Not through Chernihiv?
NATO forces will not set foot on Ukraine territory I think most have already confirmed that.That's worst sign of all. Let's hope it's just temporary.
If Putin decides to block convoys with food and medical supplies, I wonder what will take for NATO or anyone to finally do something.
Biden is such an uninspiring leader.
