Removing access to the financial messaging service would be the most severe penalty but could have unwanted consequences, including compromising energy exports to Europe.

The other thing is these are the people who support Ukraine: 
and remember that is where Burisma is and Putin is not a globalist (what' I've read).
Just wondering if we are all being led down the garden path, albeit Ukraine's people are very courageous.
Fox is reporting that “specific banks” are being cut from SWIFT.
same reason we still but oil from Russia?
All of the above know there isn’t any political benefit in supporting Putin, so they’re running out in front of the parade, in part to ensure they can make the narrative that IT’S ALL TRUMP’S FAULT. They’re welcome to join the parade, but I still will never trust them.

and all those people I mentioned are all for China.
It is sad that all your comments or this stupid.

With President Retard keeping energy prices near $100 per barrel, curbing US production and stupidly importing Russian petro due to his horrendous decisions - Russia will still be getting paid 🤪
It’s not complicated. It’s because Germany went to green energy production and can’t produce enough energy. So they need to buy russian gas. They need SWIFT to pay for that gas.
GREEN ENERGY is the reason for this war.
The leftists didn’t invade Ukraine. Putin did. And Remember Trump told Putin he would bomb Moscow if this happened.
“The Ukrainian people don’t serve this and that is all that matters.”
You play Checkers not Chess, don’t you?
Hillary Clinton praying for Ukraine - now that’s funny
