These days one of the most anti war countries in Europe is Germany , and one of the most involved in trade with Russia but Putin is changing their politics !
They were the ones holding back on banning Russians from using Swift but looks like Bidens patience with Germany is paying off .

At the same time, German ministers have said they are working on restrictingRussia's access to the Swift global interbank payment systemin a "targeted" way that "hits the right people" and avoids collateral damage.

But there is a dawning realisation here that Germany may have to rely not just on trade and diplomacy for its security, but also on military might.
And those public figures who in the past have expressed sympathy for Moscow have either fallen silent or said they were wrong.
Germany's Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has announced that Germany will deliver weapons directly to Ukraine.
He said Germany would be sending 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles.
Better than Scomo's "non lethal aid" !

non-lethal aid is far more sensible.... bandages and supplies of blood will be needed as much as weapons.

..... and cheaper.
