What good will liking a tweet do? If you are pro-SWIFT-exclusion-of-Russia and live in Germany please contact your national representatives and let them know you're willing to bear some hardship so others don't have to.

  Thanks I had quite a laugh reading your last sentence because most peers here in Berlin couldn't be bothered to report anything that doesn't directly impact them. For people living somewhere out rural shthole in West Germany perhaps might be triggered enough to file a report with the myriad of administrative concerns available to the spoiled citizen

    On average you're not wrong but it's still more effective than liking a random tweet.

How will Germany pay for Russian oil if they cannot use SWIFT anymore? I know! Our politicians will simply use whatever financial system that Russia will propose. It would be even possible to trade a fleet of AMGs for a week of oil if need be. Removing SWIFT would only delay trade between Russia and Germany not hinder it in anyway. In fact bartering system would produce more efficiencies, a bullet proof AMG G-wagon for instance would fetch more oil than a regular C-class offered to Putin's low ranking officers! All in all, Ukraine gains nothing from this action, it would only give Putin the political ammunition to sell the narrative that Russia is under attack. The US certainly stands to gain everything and risk nothing in this region and its puzzling to me why Ukraine would choose this as a hill to die on as if their self sacrifice would move the hearts and minds of NATO officers on some emotional basis

  Germany wouldn’t pay for gas and oil, and deliveries would stop. Reserves are probably high enough to last into spring, so there’d be about 9 months to find alternatives before next winter. Russia, meanwhile, would be bankrupt within a few months.
