Kicking Russia out of SWIFT was 100% the right move. And they need to be kicked way harder so they knock the fuck off.

- igravious 4mo agoIt's the right move if you want to spur on multipolarism by causing widespread distrust in a Western run global financial system. So in that sense I'm glad the US-led West has accelerated that process.

- Avalaxy 4mo agoYou mean randomly attacking countries like Venezuela or Iran?
- 9dev 4mo agoHonestly, I don't really consider the USA a western nation anymore in the sense that European nations are.
- igravious 4mo agoSWIFT is meant to be a global neutral platform, not an extension of US foreign policy. It's that simple. It's because of your Western chauvinism that you can't see that the US and Israel have done exactly the same thing you accuse others of having done. Ergo, why haven't they been kicked out of SWIFT? Riddle me that mr. "You need to draw red lines somewhere"
