Driving the price of oil down to $50 or less, would take billions out Putin's pocket and would fix inflation. Our Oil producers can produce oil at $35/ and we could subsidize them if we have to get it lower. This will take cash right out Russia. You can see that right now the US is a deer in the headlights.

But, people here think that all of Russia's military hardware cannot be challenged by the rest of the world - BULL F-ING SHIT. Work in the defense industry and you will see who has the best stuff.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By realwar: Maybe? Just saw this, not sure if its the same one. It did sound like a cruise missile. Ukraine's deputy defense ministry said that one missile was shot out of the sky by their anti-missile defense systems. Another missile struck a residential building in the city, the government said. What are there anti missile defense systems? Surely they don't have a surplus of S300 batteries at this point. |

Even during the Cold war, during the Cuban Missile crisis, war in Angola, Grenada, Vietnam, Afghanista, Georgia, Iraq on and on neither the Soviets/Russians or US went after common rails, like energy or financial. But why All SWIFT is is a secure messaging system between financial institutions. It’s doesn’t actually move and money. It’s like a promissory note email message to speed things up, a bank to bank guarantee the money is on its way thru normal current bank to bank transfer method, if you will. That’s it. It’s not a balance holding account. SWIFT is not the only financial messaging system, there are a few others. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/050515/how-swift-system-works.asp As powerful as SWIFT is, keep in mind that it is only a messaging system. SWIFT does not hold any funds or securities, nor does it manage client accounts Although there are other message services like Fedwire, Ripple, and Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS), SWIFT continues to retain its dominant position in the market. Its success is attributed to how it continually adds new message codes to transmit different financial transactions |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 01ZULU: But why All SWIFT is is a secure messaging system between financial institutions. It’s doesn’t actually move and money. It’s like a promissory note email message to speed things up, a bank to bank guarantee the money is on its way thru normal current bank to bank transfer method, if you will. That’s it. It’s not a balance holding account. SWIFT is not the only financial messaging system, there are a few others. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/050515/how-swift-system-works.asp As powerful as SWIFT is, keep in mind that it is only a messaging system. SWIFT does not hold any funds or securities, nor does it manage client accounts Although there are other message services like Fedwire, Ripple, and Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS), SWIFT continues to retain its dominant position in the market. Its success is attributed to how it continually adds new message codes to transmit different financial transactions SWIFT cuts Russia out of the ability to transact in the international banking system. The impact would be felt at the business level, it would crush their GDP hard. We did this to Iran. |
