#3 It may be fun to punk the Russians, but is it worth burning down international financial systems to do it? Trust is one of those things that once it is gone is hard to get back.

#4 This is an absolutely idiotic idea. And kicking the Russians out of the SWIFT system was nonsensical, too.

And all for that corrupt shithole Ukraine.

#5 "The credibility of International Law is at stake".

So dumb, only an expert or a politician would go for it.

Nuking international trade systems decades in the making so Tiny Ken gets his olive drab onesie.

And I see the proponents are taking a cut. Remember when we used to point and laugh at loser countries nationalized and confiscating money and property? Remember?

#6 ^^^ Yes to all of that. But then they call it a loan as if Ukraine is ever gonna repay it.
