Asked about SWIFT
The sanctions we've implemented may be stronger than anything SWIFT but thats not an option they're (SWIFT) willing to take at the moment.

crimsonandclover and cmb , can you speak on why he might want to control the Chernobyl area? If it's still dangerous, what's the upside to him?
As others have said, if you figure you're going to be dealing with an extended insurgency post-war - and that will certainly be the case - then you want to make sure you're in control of the nuclear waste and not them.

REALLY thats your question? Is there a complete rupture in US/RUS relations?
This is why I can't hold an elected office because I'd be all DUH sit down
Biden will not comment on China

Biden is self-regulating his impulse to get chippy with the reporters which I appreciate.

NATO is convening a summit with 30 allied nations to map out further actions. He is saying we are not going to fight in Ukraine, but only to defend our NATO allies. I understand why we're not sending troops into Ukraine from a political standpoint, but I wish we would do more to support the Ukranian people.

Maybe it is here too I haven't gotten gas since January bc quarantine π Last I saw over here was $3.49 for regular I paid $3.89 last week. I was actually surprised it was under $4.00. Suburban station. But, luckily, our area is fairly competitive and this one tends to be the lowest priced. I will not be surprised if we go to $4.50 and will not consider it price gouging. $6.00 is a whole different story in the near term - that would be price gouging I think.. I do anticipate that the oil reserve will be tapped again.

I'm not watching the conference, but wtf to asking about talking to Putin. The time for talking to him has passed. He's the aggressor, diplomacy didn't work.

They are terrible. These people need to go back to j-school I feel like over the past 5 years, they forgot how to ask well thought out complicated questions. And instead try to get the gotcha. Because of all the non answers of the previous admin.
And I really wish CNN would replace Kaitlyn with Phil. And I used to feel bad for her.

I will sit here with my fellow Europe-dwellers and give you the spongebob kid stare. Gas here is β¬1.70 / liter right now, which converts to about $7.60 / gallon.

Whenever I hear of Chernobyl, I think of this story:
The first year I was in Germany, I was taking a German class and one of our assignments was to write a story about one of the biggest days of our lives (good or bad). I was 18 at the time with a totally privileged upbringing. The evening we were supposed to read them, I volunteered to go first and told about the day I got a horse when I was 11. "::giggles, twirls hair:: The biggest day of my life was when my Daddy bought me a horse! It was so awesome! ::pops gum, sits down::" The next woman volunteered. She was from Ukraine and told the story of how she was like 11 and lived 50 miles away from Chernobyl when it melted down. "I remember when the nuclear plant by my house melted down and I had to evacuate with my entire family, almost nothing from our house, and we were never allowed back. I sometimes wonder whether my stuffed animals are still on my bed." gah. I wanted to sink into the ground and have it swallow me whole. That's one of those moments that still makes me cringe when I am trying to go to sleep at night and my brain tortures me with a montage of all the stupid things I've done in my life.
