Vlad V. Putin will take over all of eastern europe unless the weak west pulls together to kick russia out of SWIFT.


"The resolution's failure paves the way for backers to call for a swift vote on a similar measure in the U.N. General Assembly."

nations announce expulsion of selected Russian banks from SWIFT

France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Canada, announced Saturday evening that they would expel certain Russian banks from SWIFT, the high-security network that connects thousands of financial institutions around the world, pledging to "collectively ensure that this war is a strategic failure for (Russian President Vladimir) Putin."

The statement still leaves the actual technical details -- and the specific Russian lenders that will be cut off from SWIFT -- unclear, with US and EU officials still in the midst of hammering out the final details of the action.

to kick certain Russian banks out of SWIFT banking system

"European allies agreed to cut Russia out of access to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a rapid shift from just days ago when it appeared such a move was unlikely in the near future.

The U.S. and European nations also committed to imposing measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from using its reserves to undermine sanctions and boost the ruble."

I didn't look which Ken was which until you said that. The Ken Blake who has been on the forte newsgroup for years is a troll. Don't know about this new one as the email is different. But the long standing Ken Blake is long ago in everyone's killfile there.
