Jepp! Men nå brukes de kraftigste virkemidlene mot Russland, dette er som å erklære økonomisk krig mot putin. Hadde ikke trodd de skulle gå så langt så fort, men de har stått på for å gjøre det de kan. Dette kan virkelig utspille seg i alle retninger nå.
"Sanctioning Russia’s central bank is likely to have a dramatic effect on the Russian economy and its banking system, similar to what we saw in 1991,” said Elina Ribakova, deputy chief economist for the Institute of International Finance. “This would likely lead to massive bank runs and dollarization, with a sharp sell-off, drain on reserves – and, possibly, a full-on collapse of Russia’s financial system.
All Russian banks that have already been sanctioned by the international community and, if necessary, other Russian banks will be excluded from the international payment service system SWIFT.
The West is putting a financial stranglehold on Russia as Putin snuffs out any hope of diplomacy to end the fighting in Ukraine by ordering his military to press ahead on Saturday."
Dette er svært dramatisk hvis det utspiller seg slik jeg tror det kan gjøre.
