Biden cutting off Russia's central bank from US dollar transactions
(CNN) President Biden is taking immediate action on Monday to prohibit American dollar transactions with the Russian central bank and fully block the Russian direct investment fund, senior administration officials said, an aggressive move that aims at some of Russia's most powerful means of mitigating the effect of sanctions.
The steps are meant to prevent Russia from accessing a "rainy day fund" that officials said Moscow had been expecting to rely upon during the invasion of Ukraine.
Instead of using the reserves to buffer a plummeting ruble, Russia will no longer be able to access the funds it keeps in US dollars.
The sweeping new sanctions -- taken with Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Canada, the European Union and others -- come as Russia's economy is already in freefall.

In a bid to mitigate the impact of the sanctions on US and European energy consumers, the Treasury Department will exempt most energy-related transactions from the sanctions, a significant carve-out in the sanctions.
"No country is sanction proof," a White House official said.
"Putin's war chest of $630 billion in reserves only matters if you can use it to defend his currency, specifically by selling those reserves in exchange for buying the ruble."
"After today's actions that will no longer be possible, and fortress Russia will be exposed as a myth."

In a phone call with reporters Monday morning, a senior Biden administration official said the move was "the culmination of months of planning and preparation across our respective governments across technical, diplomatic and political channels, including at the highest levels."
"We were ready and that's what allowed us to act within days, not weeks or months, of Putin's escalation," the official said.
"Our strategy, to put it simply, is to make sure that the Russian economy goes backward as long as President Putin decides to go forward with his invasion of Ukraine," a second senior Biden administration official said.

I see reports on several news outlets that President Biden's crushing banking sanctions and urging of other nations to join the U.S. has caused the Russian Central Bank to immediately raise interest rates from a tough 9.5% to a mind-boggling 20%!

Yes it is nice.... however this all could have been prevented...definitely do not want ww 3
And the spreading of the covid virus all over the country in 2020 which ultimately led to the deaths of nearly 1 MILLION Americans because of trump, could have been prevented
And trump could have prevented Putin from feeling emboldened to do whatever he wants
And the surrender deal by Pompeo in Afghanistan which ultimately led to the deaths of 13 Americans could have been prevented
And Hitler's genocide could have been prevented
And Japan's conquest of China could have been prevented
And the American civil war could have been prevented
And the murder of George Floyd could have been prevented
**And 9/11 could have been prevented
***The 20 year war in the east by the republicans, could have been prevented
And trump's attempt to overthrow the government could have been prevented
And trump saying stupid shit like injecting bleach, could have been prevented
**The loss of 20 MILLION jobs and 14.7% unemployment in America could have been prevented!
.......blah, blah, effing blah
If only we had competent LEADERSHIP that did NOT embolden Putin to make plans for 4 years to invade Ukraine, it all could have been prevented.

Joe Biden confronts Putin,(unlike donald trump) (CNN) President Joe Biden held his first call Tuesday with his Russian counterpart, according to the White House, confronting President Vladimir Putin over a range of issues.The call, which occurred midday, amounted to Biden's opening bid at diplomacy with one of his chief adversaries, whom he has met previously but not dealt with as an equal. Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki said he entered the phone call with the intention of discussing the New START nuclear treaty, which the Biden administration hopes to extend; • Russian aggression in Ukraine; • the Solarwinds cyber hack, the extent of which is still being determined;• reports Russia placed bounties on American troops serving in Afghanistan; • Moscow's interference in two US presidential elections; • and the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. "His intention was also to make clear that the United States will act firmly in defense of our national interests in response to malign actions by Russia," . .
Ya, he confronted Putin all right
still trying to figure
Trump was weak...so Putin waited til a strong Biden was in before he acted?
Ya, seems sensible to me

Biden sanctions effective, as Russia says its economy is taking ‘serious blows’ as isolation grows
Wed March 2, 2022 The Russian economy is taking “serious blows,” the Kremlin acknowledged Wednesday, as the country’s growing isolation piles further pressure on its tottering financial system.
Apple (AAPL), ExxonMobil, Ford, (F) Boeing (BA) and Airbus (EADSY)joined a list of companies shutting down or suspending their operations in Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine and ensuing Western sanctions,
and the European arm of Russia’s biggest bank collapsed following a run on its deposits.
The ruble weakened again to trade at 113 to the US dollar, and shares in Russian companies listed overseas crashed.
“Russia’s economy is experiencing serious blows,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said

Russia going to have some very serious issues the next few months if Putin doesn't completely withdraw and including any sham government he tries to install.
