Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

After Putin takes over Ukraine, will he find the DNC server that Trump says the Democrats shipped off to Ukraine?

Trump believes—and by all indications this is true belief, not posturing—that after the Democratic National Committee was hacked in 2016, the DNC gave a physical server to Ukrainian cybersecurity company CrowdStrike and refused to let the FBI see the evidence. Trump further argues that the server in question now physically resides in Ukraine. Inside that server, Trump suggests, one would find evidence, gleaming like a Pulp Fiction briefcase, that Ukraine, not Russia, hacked the DNC in 2016.

“Are you sure they did that?” asked Fox and Friends host Steve Doocey.

To which Trump replied: “Well, that’s what the word is.”

We already see those sanctions crumbling with Germany rejecting the idea of ejection from SWIFT.

In his press conference today, Biden said that the sanctions are worse than ejecting Russia from SWIFT. Who here knows enough about SWIFT to tell us if that is true? I do not understand what SWIFT is. Something about sending wires.

Sounds like it might be good for crypto.

So, as of right now, reported totals are 57 Ukrainian soldiers and civilians killed, 5 Russian Helicopters taken down, 12 Russian tanks knocked out, and 80 Russian soldiers captured.

It would be hilarious if the Ukraine fucked up Russia.

Is there a website tracking all of this? Or you get this from news articles?

Oh. I was hoping there was a website that was collecting all of the information. That would be awesome. You should create it.

The EU controls swift. The EU does 250-300b in trade with Russia yearly.

If the EU cut russia out of swift, they’d need a back up source for energy.

Not sure the EU has the stomach to cut Russia off of swift.

Biden didn't even have it on the table. We use it to buy oil from them too.

Pretty much any of this type of information should be taken with a grain of salt. Deflating/inflating casualties is a propaganda staple.
