Central Banks around the world risk having their main banking offices hit with Russian missiles if they cut Russia off from the SWIFT Banking system, as some countries are endeavoring to do. Such is information LEAKING out of Russia Saturday and is NOT yet “official.” Says one Russian, “If the Banks want to wage war against Russia, they should expect war to be waged back upon them – personally – in the buildings where they work.”
Cutting Russia off from SWIFT is a “matter of days”, according to a central bank within the euro zone according to a report from Reuters.
Inside Russia, plans are being reviewed as to what response the nation might make if the West “attacks” Russia economically. Russian President Vladimir Putin was explicitly clear during his speech wherein he announced Russia would be moving to de-militarize and de-nazify Ukraine: “Anyone who interferes will have consequences the likes of which they have never seen in history.” Hitting central bank buildings with precision missiles would likely fit that description.
President Putin’s exact quote was ““I would now like to say something very important for those who may be tempted to interfere in these developments from the outside. No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history. No matter how the events unfold, we are ready. All the necessary decisions in this regard have been taken. I hope that my words will be heard.”
Such action by Russia would, of course, be considered an act of war by the nations wherein the banks are actually hit. But a war breaking out between NATO and Russia has been ALMOST a foregone conclusion since the Russian operation began.
