    I was not awhere that Ukraine had any drones.
    The news said Ukraine carried out drone strikes on russian troops.
    Good for them.
    From what I understand, the Turks gave the Ukrainians a load of UCAV drones...

    They have been used to sneak behind the lines mostly and hit supply convoys.

    I seen a video earlier that they are also using personal (think DJI) drones to drop bombs.

    "In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to." --- Theodore Dalrymple

    Banks in Germany,Greece,and Italy are in immediate danger due to swift restrictions,most will either fail or need bailed out. The FED and American banks lose as well. The largest publicly known hit so far was not a bank though,BP just lost 52 billion and has publicly stated it has given up all assets and shares in Russia("We just walked away"). The bank of England,well they just lost 8% of reserves(one of the few that list reserve content publicly).France is however almost immune due to participation in CIPS and any transaction they need with Russia or China has used that system for more than 4 years now.

    Restricting swift transactions is like killing your own cattle and leaving them in the field to rot so your enemy can not eat them when they have another source for cattle without restrictions. Of course all shares related to CIPS(China and Russian equivalent of swift)are up...around 1000% thus far in Russia,and 20% in China(the cap for a gain or loss of any stock traded on a Chinese market per day).

    If I planned to kill the US dollar and Euro this is how I would have done it. The harder it is to transact with the less it will be used.

    I agree. i think it's a bad idea to start restricting access to SWIFT. America is finished without free-flowing global transactions based on the US dollar. I think it's a step too far and is playing with fire that could lead to catastrophic consequences. This topic was brought up previously by jsx1043.
