That has already started.

* - Russian banks blocked from SWIFT international payment network

* - Analysis: SWIFT block deals crippling blow to Russia; leaves room to tighten

* - World powers move to block some Russian banks from global SWIFT transaction system

* - US, EU, UK to sanction Russian central bank, block SWIFT

ALL of their largest banks already were.

Took effect immediately.

We are still allowing most common commerce for now, but nothing else, and we can stop allowing even that immediately, and without notice.

For now we are letting russia pay it's international bills.

For now.



Russians can no longer move assets into or out of the country, but we haven't flipped the switch to turn off the russian economy yet.

There are already 3 carrier task forces in the Eastern Med. 1 US, 1 French and 1 Italian (all 3 are under NATO Command).

Only the U.S. has added the required EW protection, someone needs to keep the other two away please.

The fact that you replied the way you did shows you dont understand the conflict very well.

Europe is telling putin to keep his gas.

They don't need it.

The U.S. has far more than enough to supply them for as long as necessary.

Ha. Ha.
