Removing Russian banks from SWIFT but leaving the energy intact so Europe has power, was so brilliant they obviously never played chess. Putin just put Biden’s king in check by ordering Europe to pay for gas now in Rubles. That will provide support for the Ruble, and undermine Europe and its Euro as well as the dollar in the long run.

Putin will take Chinese Yuan as well to fulfill the existing contract. Europe said no to that as well.
Oil is fungible, if China buys Russian oil, the EU can buy middle eastern oil
True, but Russia accounts for approximately 10% of the world’s oil supply, if the ME doesn’t increase capacity which they are likely not to do, then everyone is going to pay unbelievable prices for that oil.
Russia and China did not join the US/EU green lunatic suicide pact. Russia, despite this catastrophic debilitating war with Ukraine, and China will ultimately become stronger while the US/EU will become weaker and crippled by the green lunatic poison.
This article explains why the Germans are still going to be buying Russian oil—no matter what they publicly claim:
Putin is playing chess. Biden is playing tic tac toe.
I would imagine that they have peer to peer trade agreements with Russia already. And the Oligarchs moved their money off shore ages ago. It’s so hidden the US treasury department will never find it.
If they were targeting the Russian Oligarchs, this failed miserably. Our Government thinks these rich guys are stupid. They are five or six steps ahead of them.
I think people fail to realize the idea that Putin would invade Ukraine happened in the last few months are mistaken.
Putin has been planning this for a long time and has contingencies in place, the sanctions are going to hurt Russia but they are going to hurt the West as well.
we have a demented fool as Potus who every day is making the situation worse, his staff has to walk back everything he says, which only projects weakness to Putin.
I guess we see who blinks first. Russia could always ask to be paid in gold or bitcoin.
Who runs Bartertown?
They can ask but contractually they aren’t able to demand it.
Actually Long-Term I think this hurts the globalist agenda. This is a wake up call to America to bring home production.
Europe needs Russian oil a lot more than Putin needs their money. He can find plenty of buyers for his oil. India and China are already obliging.
They selling it already to China and India. There is never going to be a shortage of buyers for oil and gas.
Biden is playing tic tac toe.

Martin Armstrong word’s of wisdom:
“Putin Could Take All of Europe in the Blink of an Eye”
Putin’s “ airforce could flatten Ukraine and probably win the war in a matter of days. “

“The Ukrainian city of Kherson has now fallen to Russia. This is a vital port city for Ukraine. They cannot win against Russia. “

Why does anyone pay attention to what this moron has to say?
