So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    Russia was banned from SWIFT but Israel wasn’t so I don’t trust it. We need something without American influence.

      You think Israel has no influence in Europe? TARGET or SWIFT doesn’t make a difference.

          I’d go any day with something controlled by the ECB instead of the CCP.

          And don’t have any special antipathy vs the Chinese.

            The EU was quick to sanction Russia but when America attacked Venezuela, they are “closely monitoring”. No sanctions for Israel either.

            I wouldn’t be comfortable with this hypocrisy in an ideal world.
