And so the US and Israel have been kicked out of SWIFT, yes?

(never mind that anybody with a functioning cerebral cortex understands that the roots of the special military operation lie in NATO provocation and politically neutral Kiev getting couped with help from the CIA)

There is no point talking with you. That you in Russia have your brains damaged, we all know, but the rest of the world doesn't live in a state of constant alcohol delirium. You might want to be aware of that.

Of course it is you who are morally damaged because people like you refuse to respect a fundamental moral concept which is to treat others as you would have yourself be treated.

And I am not in Russia, I am from Western Europe. Given that S.W.I.F.T. operates out of Belgium (an EU country) and I live in an EU country I think my opinion on this counts.

I've listened to people like you for years insult people's basic sense of justice and logic.

It's a very simple rule -- you can't have one set of rules for the West and another for everyone else -- the so-called international rules-based order is a joke, it's corrupt (irredeemably so), it's myopic, it's increasingly totalitarian, it's in a constant state of war, the gap between the haves and have-nots keeps increasing, and it's now complicit in a genocidal rampage, the never-ending hypocrisy is nauseating -- enough is enough, things can't go on like this.

And a large part of the problem is not external enemies: drug cartels, authoritarian regimes, Islalism -- the problem is the enemy within and people like you are part of that problem.

I wouldn't bet my money that Israel won't be, eventually. The public opinion is turning against them right now.

[igravious]

You underestimate how central Israel is to US-led Western imperialism and how, in turn, ingrained US exceptionalism and Western chauvinism are. Israel is as rogue as a rogue state can be and nothing has happened to it.

Russia kicked out of SWIFT, Israel wasn't

Russia kicked out of FIFA, Israel wasn't

Hell, Russia kicked out of the Eurovision, Israel wasn't

Israel is an absolute pariah on the world stage -- globally once you leave the Western bubble people have a much more negative opinion of Israel than even Russia whose Soviet past has left a residue of generational resentment.
