I still want to know if Putin knew this could happen and still send the army. Former president Dmitry Medvedev attributed SWIFT disconnecting as a "declaration of war". What the Russian response will be or they have no response

Finally!
Its not a 100% removal, but it is still quite close to it
A watershed moment for the fight against the US Financial Empire. Sleepy Joe didnt disappoint us.
They actually drank their own koolaid, amazing
Just drop by their local district office and ask for an AK. That's all you got to do these days, and they'll happily provide you with the rifle... maybe even an MLAW if you're lucky.
I thought they would wait till Kyiv had fallen to use this but nope.
They are being selective to continue to buy Russian energy commodity. Way to have your cake and eat it too.
With all due respect to Gen.Wesley K. Clark (I have read all his books, read enough on his biography and his ascent to the top post NATO SACEUR) the man has a blind spot and couldn't smell his own hypocrisy based on the fact that he's the one person really responsible for pushing the bombing of Serbia in the Kosovo War. He (Clark) was so convinced that Kosovar Albanians was getting genocided by the Serbs during their anti-terrorist operations against the KLA elements and the fact that former Serbian Pressient Slobodan Milosevic demeanor and ascerbic attitude when describing the terrorists certainly didn't help his image that when a set of bodies were found in the graveyard (forgot the name of the area it was discovered) Clark went on overdrive with the help of UN Secretary Madeline Albright in calling the discovery as evidenced of "ethnic cleansing" a.k.a. GENOCIDE.
Which made the whole anti Serbia and operation Allied Force possible. Russian impotence and weakness left Milosevic with no choice but to hunker down because what was asked of him by Clark and US vassals was beyond humiliation for a sovereign President of a sovereign country of Serbia.
Let's not forget that Gen.Clark has always been anti-Russia and there's a known infamous episode where he and his SACEUR Deputy Lt.Gen. Mike Short of the British Army got into a heated argument regarding the issue or situation of the Pristina Airport. Clark wanted Short to use NATO assets to block the incoming K-FOR Russian contingent that was arriving because Clark feared that the Russians arriving in the area may create a partition of sorts but Short fearing that following Clark's order would result in a provocative confrontation with the Russians preferred on a less confrontational approach. Clark became angry, accused Short of insubordination leaving Short his famous retort "I won't start WWIII for you" and besides I have already sought and been granted the approval from the British Chief of Defense which left Clark dumbfounded and only to then realize that his own U.S. military Chain of command and his boss Chaiman of the joint Chiefs, Gen.Hugh Shelton countermanded essentially countermanded his order leaving Clark embarrassed.
I don't want to side track this thread but Clark is hardly an objective analyst when it comes to Russia issue. The man is extraordinarily smart since he was always first in his class from academy to CGSC and National War College but the dude has some serious flaws that his unwilling and unable to rectify.
The freezing and rolling blackouts only a decision away .
Why they think that after all of this the Russians are not willing to stop the gas flow to the EU ?
What they will do, scrap the NS2 project altogether ?
Or sanction the Russian gas industry ?
A good strategy does not involve full scale invasion of Ukraine.

But the Ukrainian are Russian's neighbors, brothers and cousins. I don't think Russian can adopt a scorched earth policy like they did in Afghanistan. So far, we only been hearing from Western/Ukraine media how Russian failed at certain objectives, but that is just typical propaganda (I see that alot with China as well. They will create a false objective that China never claimed it wanted to achieve and say how China has failed).
From the russian military saide, they might see things are going fine and mostly according to plan. Local setback are to be expected, but the overall picture is still heavily russian favored. Also, shelling major cities is not going to stop Ukrainian militia ambush Russian convoys. These loss in a style of war Russia is executing now(sourounding the major city and push deeper into Ukraine) is almost unavoidable,. Militia can only harass and slow down an advance, its not going to win a war for Ukraine.
