To anyone believing that Western #sanctions have failed as a deterrent: don't mix timelines of a financial tool with that of a gun. Have some patience, today's sanctions will sap #Russia of its livelihood. You cannot sustain an occupation of a country without financing to back it
To anyone thinking the West looked weak today: have you ever seen so much damn consensus among allies? I would have dreamed of such agreement in 2014, although we'd never have dreamed we'd see it come to this. Resolve is a deterrent too. @AmbDanFried #UkraineRussiaConflict
To anyone calling for de-#Swift: did you listen to #Biden? The blocking of major banks by the West is a far greater hit to the Russian financial sector. This blocks assets and correspondents, de-SWIFTING slows them down. Beware straw-man tough language. It bites. @brianoftoole
