How much of an impact will this really have?  As I understand it, only cards issued by Russian banks will no longer work outside of the country.  So they'll still work fine IN Russia which is where the pressure needs to be exerted. If they did that, Russia's economy would likely collapse, and the Russian people would deman Putin stop his aggreggion.

This will actually impact a small group of people - Russians outside of Russia who already know the truth about what is happening.

NATO announced that they were planning to offer them membership. It doesn't exactly make them look good to offer no real support now that this is the result.

I disagree.  Not about Biden but about Trump.  Trump has made no secret of his admiration for Putin, nor hs disdain for Ukraine.  Even just this week Trump praised Putin's actions, called him a "genius" and "very savvy" and repeated the Russian propoganda that the Ukrainians would prefer to live under Russian rule.

Why do you think Trump's reaction would be any different if he were still president?

There are no good options on how to respond, without triggering World War III. Putin knew Ukraine's allies were too scared to take any concrete actions to hurt him. And with his new pact with China, he need not fear Western sanctions.

However, I suspect that had every Western ally of Ukraine stationed some of their troops in Ukraine, Putin would never have dared to launch an attack. That would have effectively declared war on every Western nation simultaneously.

Sure, but as stated in the article, Europe was able to roll this out with out any problems at all.  They simple had to tweak the signal intensity.  Why did America handle it so poorly?

Nio Making Big Moves In US, Reports Say Chinese EV Maker Setting Up Shop In California

Long term? Yes. #Nio literally sold ALL the cars they made in 2021… so that 10k is irrelevant. Please do your research on $NIO before bashing the company.
