Credit card companies Visa and Mastercard announced today that they will be suspending operations in Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. This will have a strong impact on the Russian economy, though mostly affecting private citizens and businesses rather than the government.
Here’s the press release from Visa:
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mar. 5, 2022– Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) today announced it is suspending its Russia operations.
Effective immediately, Visa will work with its clients and partners within Russia to cease all Visa transactions over the coming days. Once complete, all transactions initiated with Visa cards issued in Russia will no longer work outside the country and any Visa cards issued by financial institutions outside of Russia will no longer work within the Russian Federation.
“We are compelled to act following Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and the unacceptable events that we have witnessed,” said Al Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer of Visa Inc. “We regret the impact this will have on our valued colleagues, and on the clients, partners, merchants and cardholders we serve in Russia. This war and the ongoing threat to peace and stability demand we respond in line with our values.”

Exactly, soon coming to a MAGA rally near you.
That’s exactly it. The West lied to Russia, so it could be toppled and a NWO guy could be installed. That’s been my understanding of the general gist of the whole situation.
Yes, the US is next after Russia. It’s the only major power that is not completely in the NWO camp.
This is how they work out any kinks in the mechanisms for “banning”. Recall how Alex Jones was the first person “cancelled” with collusion amongst the leading social media companies all seeming to do it at the same time.
What happens when people go back to the flip phone? Or just doesn’t take a phone with them to a rally?
Is that when they demand we are get chipped “for our own protection” from being “misplaced”?
I smell a huge cyber attack coming on. Either by Russia or China but I’d place a bet that it’s coming.
Well, back to writing checks.
Mike Lindell’s bank canceled him and his company.
They can cancel you just like the credit card companies.
And who does this hurt? The average Russian citizen trying to survive this madness.
Cash is king.
“ Exactly, soon coming to a MAGA rally near you.”
You are comparing patriotic MAGA rallies to the evil of Putin?
That’s nuts.
Why not the See Aye Ay using their software that makes the activity look like it originated in Russia?
These are people who consider human beings to be an insect pestilence.
Hurting them is a feature, not a bug.
That's what the Deep State does, they equate Trump with Putin.
That’s why they are inflating the US dollar to zero-value.
$50k on their refusal to do so to China when the time comes.
My family in Russia, that’s who! I’m sick of this $hit!!
Wouldn’t come from China. Why would they. The technocracy love the CCP. It is their model on how to govern the world. China views them as useful idiots.
So, will VISA suspect all cross-border operations with Red China, too?
That could be a distinction without a difference to the likes of Vanguard, Blackrock, etc.
