With all transactions outside SWIFT or any West aligned financial system(s), West can't see those transaction and can't block them. But SOME Russian banks are still within SWIFT since West still need to pay Russia $MMs to buy the energy products.

A newbie question. Is it possible to place a couple day trades with a limited margin account, like IRA with IB? Maybe just 2-3 trades. Not regular day trading.

Remember, you have to gamble right in this war time. Or you can get crushed.

When two boxers fight a match, one can be strong and can be weak. So one is a winner and one is loser. Match is over. Now what if the winner decided to step on the loser, kick his ribcage, spit on his face. That is what elder Bush, Clinton, younger Bush and Obama did over the decades. But...

If the CIA agent can succeed. But it won't change anything.

Here is the irony. US is one continent away from Europe. All the warfare is far away from US continent. If there is any war, it is Estonia and Poland who will be attacked first. Russia has no incentives to send missiles to US. It is a total different situation if UK and France send their...

But what the impact is since Russia does not plan to borrow from the West? It is just a complete de-coupling. It is a nuclear option. And West has no more leverage.

@dickey7 How do you think this is a good time to buy stocks? More bombs will fall. More shoes will fall. More stocks will fall too. Better stay safe. You never know what to happen next. All waiting for next shoe to drop.

So you think this is a joke? All those big nuclear powers are untouchable.... Biden knows it so well.

I do not know. A lot Americans like isolationism for many years. That is at least half of the Republicans do. But US has been involved with all global conflicts since Cold War. Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraqi War, Afghanistan War, Syrian Civil War etc. But nothing is working. How many $BB...

@Bugenhagen No, I do not support anything. It is the history. Read that book. American author. Well known professor. Read the history too.

What you said does not make any idiot sense.

Do you know that Taiwan Semi has factories in China?

@d08 You are such an idiot. Biden asked UAE to send LNG to Europe. Where do the ships go?

@d08 You are such an idiot. You better read some history book. Here is a good one from Johns Hopkins University. That is the history I just described.

That is just BS. How can all those LNG tankers pass through Suez Canal? Do you even know how LNG works?

US has no reason to shed blood to defend Taiwan. This is half of the Republicans think US should do. That is what Senator Josh Hawley thinks US should do. China-Taiwan will be just another Russia and Ukraine. Even US agrees that there is only one China. But US passed a law to "defend"...

You are the biggest idiot. And stupid too. If a nuclear power sees the existential thread, what a country would do??

Only short term, not long term. After 10 years, Europeans will forget. Look at all the sanctions after 2014 Crimea.

You are the most stupid person I've ever seen. When Soviet collapsed, what was the need for NATO to expand. And NATO bombed Libya and Yugoslavia without UN support. How can one military alliance controls the entire world?
