We have to hope that the people under Putin tell him no or remove him from power before that happens. If things go terribly sideways for Putin here, what confidence would those under him have left? He would be in a very vulnerable spot at home.
What exactly is unlikely?
I don’t know enough about it to be definitive, but I also don’t know if China is particularly interested in that avenue right now. The moment word gets out they’re trying, they’ll get slapped with sanctions, probably.
No, but this isn’t going to be the impetus for that happening and since we can’t send troops in to help this is what we can do.
The odds of that happening while Russia is barred from swift for a few months is extremely remote. There are more pressing concerns in the world right now. Finding a way to get a psychopath with nukes to stand down is A1.
That's where I am at. You have a Senate of 400+ people, and the oligarchs, who are all in place because of corruption and bribes. They have been lining their pockets; if Putin goes nuclear the gravy train ends, all at once.
Not that it wouldn't cause pain, but Swift as some ultimate Putin deterrent is a little naive. And you don't just switch it on and off like a faucet. There are reasons Putin met with Xi a month ago.
As most of us are I’m sure, really pulling for this guy to come out of this alive and free. I may even get a Zelenskyy in 2024 t shirt made. True leader.

Nothing will beat the old woman telling the Russian soldiers to carry seeds in their pocket so they can grow flowers when they die there. Unbelievable.
now it's getting realPoland and Sweden have refused to play Russia in World Cup Soccer matches schedule for March.
And they’re getting more than they can handle, apparently. He fell victim to that classic blunder: Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
So after 20 minutes of YouTube research I am now an expert.@nexta_tv·6m️Germany will send air defense equipment and Stinger missiles to Ukraine. Earlier German authorities refused to do so.
Yeeeaaah, I think this might be some cover for the PMs he has purchased in the UK to avoid going after the club. I mean, I would love to see the team seized, or a sale forced (is this even possible??), but letting someone else run the club for a bit, meh. Feels like he's getting out in front to buy some breathing room.
Cross-posting myself from TPF thread:
Seeing the resolve, unity, and bravery of these people makes me sad that our country seems unable to rally together behind anything.
That’s how most empires through history have fallen. Strife from within, until someone else comes along to clean up the remnants.
If this was happening on American soil I guarantee you American people would come together and do this.
