All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

Fedor, Kristina and Margaret are all in the states now. Hopefully they can get some matches and make a living,
I loved The Americans, and Kristina is much more attractive than Keri Russell.They're spies! The Cold War is back...LOL.

Great quote --- I love Macbeth. I think my favorite Shakespeare play is Julius Caesar, but Hamlet is second and Macbeth is third.‘Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’
(Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5)

Can't they pay in crypto?That would require inter bank communication.
SWIFT has been taken away from Russia.
SWIFT is how banks communicate with each other.
What you are proposing cannot be done with the way the current sanctions are in place.
By the way, Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, failed today.
It went under.
The world is shunning everything Russian.
Great show, but I don't agree with the 2nd comment!I loved The Americans, and Kristina is much more attractive than Keri Russell.

Like you said, get used to it, more is coming. Like it or not the U.S. was the policeman of the world of sorts for a long, long time, especially in the sense that they have been the only thing that was preventing other super powers like Russia and China from doing much of the evil that they would like to do.Putin is former KGB. So that mindset will stay in the Russian government until he is gone. We'll have to see what happens. I only hope the entire world stands together when the Chinese are the aggressor. It's coming. Taiwan might be next.
Dude, our President's sanctions has caused Russian banks to collapse,Like you said, get used to it, more is coming. Like it or not the U.S. was the policeman of the world of sorts for a long, long time, especially in the sense that they have been the only thing that was preventing other super powers like Russia and China from doing much of the evil that they would like to do.
There are three things though that make other super power nations like Russia and China significantly more likely to go ahead and implement some of their evil desires, such as what Russia is now doing here, because they know/believe under those circumstances that they will then be able to get away with it. Those are:
1. When the U.S. has a weak president.
2. When the U.S. has a completely incompetent president, and even worse when he is half senile on top of it.
3. When the U.S. President is in bed with them (and/or they have good blackmail material on him and/or his close loved ones).
Russia and China hit the absolute jackpot in early 2021 by getting all three with Biden, and the highest possible amounts on all three at that. At that point it was only a matter of how many months it was going to take for Russia and China to do something like this, not an if.
Yup, more is coming for sure as the U.S. is now a laughing stock no longer truly respected or feared by anyone in the world as of the last year, and there isn't anything that can be done to change that fact until there is a big change in U.S, leadership because the current leadership quite simple lacks the ability to change that fact.
Hoping that the USA will fail just because "your guy" is not in office is about as un-American as it gets.... Kremlin anti-American propaganda ...
