- In what may be the single-largest sanctions move yet, Russia, after some recalcitrance, is being decoupled from the SWIFT bank payment network, largely cutting off the nation from the world banking community.
- Chelsea's owner, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, has given control of the club to the charitable trustee foundation -- anticipating sanctions and perhaps a demand by the FA to sell the club.
- Though Alex Ovechkin has condemned the war, Dominic Hasek believes that not only is Ovechkin a chickenshit, but that the NHL needs to immediately ban ALL Russians from the league.
- On the battlefield, it appears that, though the Russians are losing to a degree infuriating Putin (he thought this thing would be over by now!), they have entered the second-largest city in the country and more-than-sporadic street fighting has been noted in the capital, Kyiv.
- Both Poland and Sweden are now refusing to play Russia in the World Cup Qualifier playoffs at all, regardless of the match location.
Today:
- Looks like some form of talks may be on the table, but Putin has put his nuclear deterrent on high alert. And if this isn't proof this isn't a false flag to distract from one thing or another -- think! If Biden does that, we take a fucking nuclear detonation somewhere in the United States. But most of you on the Right are too fucking stupid to get that.
- Not only that, but it appears that is the response to sanctions. Get ready, for only the third time in American history, for DEFCON 2. The other two were the September 11 attacks (partial) and the Cuban Missile Crisis (complete).
- At least one unofficial source has at already at partial DEFCON 2 because of Putin placing his deterrent on high alert. The official current DEFCON is NOT made public for security reasons.
- FIFA has banned all Russian teams with immediate effect. Same situation as the IOC, can't identify with the Russian flag and colors. No World Cup ban yet.
