EU doesn't even want to kick Russia off of SWIFT. Apparently there are also reports that Mario Draghi (former head of European Central Banks) carved out Italian luxury goods from EU's package of economic sanctions to shield their economy and Belgium's diamond industry is also not included in the package of sanctions. So yea... Putin must be really impressed at our resolve in deterring him. https://twitter.com/Barnes_Joe/statu...94009038626842 |
