Word is the deal fell through, according to CNN... we should have the full breakdown by Monday.

Whoops. 👍
Let's see what Donald Trump pulls next. Honestly, his own people could probably kick him out if they actually felt like it.

Buahahahahaha
Seriously, that was probably the first thing that actually made me crack up today.

Poor things.
As if anyone actually cares what they have to say. 🕺

The entire EU is doing the same...

Do we mean the European Union specifically—or all of Europe?

The entire European Union closed it down...

Some Russian banks are about to get kicked off SWIFT entirely

The Russian central bank is basically getting paralyzed, which means those Russian oligarchs won't be able to touch a dime in Western markets anymore

And the others... I guess they'll leave enough open so we can still buy gas and oil lol

It’s finally happening—the European Union and the United Kingdom are cutting Russia out of SWIFT and freezing every cent of their central bank's assets.

Can someone actually verify this?
And if it turns out to be true, I’d really love to see the look on the German Chancellor's face.

I didn't quite catch what Ursula was saying during the livestream, did they actually kick Russia out of Swift?

I'm pretty sure they did. At least, that's how I remember hearing it.

Well, look at that... freezing off the assets of a central bank in Russia...

So long, Putin... you'll be missed... just kidding.

Well, it was more like *some* banks... though I guess we're all still wondering what that actually looks like in practice.

I was just watching a live feed of Ursula von der Leyen on CNN... something like that.
