Dennis 8,391 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This was after announcement of sanctions. It clearly shows that investors think the sanctions are not tough as they expected. Good for Russia sadly that western leaders are being cowardly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyLark 10,213 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 F*cking Italy and Germany refuse to participate in SWIFT, which is a big part of the problem, and Europe is STILL buying gas from Russia. Also Canada's sanctions were surprisingly weak asf. And I can't believe I'm about to give Boris Johnson credit for something (he's a horrible man), but what he did to Aeroflot was very good (tho he needs to do way, way more).

The whole western alliance is being undermined by a country with an economy smaller than Italy's. Imagine how fast we'd surrender if China invades us.

Already now with the current sanctions, prices are expected to rise. If Russia were excluded from the SWIFT system, we couldn't pay them and we couldn't have gas supplies.

SwissMonster 30,688 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Apparently it gets real dirty bts in Germany. The Ambassador from ukraine in Berlin was invited to the German Ministry (on his own request, yikes ) and did say in a Talk Show yesterday, that German Politicians already gave up Ukraine bts. They wouldn’t listen to him and indirectly told him in the face that its a lost case. So sadly it comes to no surprise that sanctions are light and Russias stocks are rising SwissMonster®️ - Creating controversy since 1999 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster7 5,697 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 He who has energy resources has real power, and in this case, a huge part of all Europe basic activities depend on Russian gas. It's sad but this is EU fault, they could have invested a lot in building pipelines from north Africa so our economy didn't depend on some crazy dictator from an external country Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't see the difference between an Arab dictator and Putin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
