One question being scrupulously unasked by all the MSM: how much Russian debt is on the balance sheets of European--especially German-- banks? That censorship seems to be in effect because the likelihood of default is directly--maybe even disproportionally--proportional to the severity of sanctions. One big failure might even have the effect of a nuclear bomb under the Euro-American financial system. Anybody here remember Kreditanstalt Verein? One would hope that there are people in power who do!
