If (((they))) could've caused an uproar about a war with Russia, it would've given the Press 'ammo' to call the protestors "un-American" for protesting during a time of "National Emergency" when we should "all come together and support the CinC against those damn dirty Russians. Anti-vaxxers are un-American, blah, blah, blah."
Foiled again.
How much money can a bank lend?
Only a multiple of the cash they have on deposit to comply with banking regulations.
What happens if their deposit to debt ratio climbs out of regs?
What happens if people take their money out?
They can't call "good" loans thag are being paid ontime
They can't magically reduce their loans to fix the ratio.
What happens?
Banking regulators lock the door on Friday, fire the manager and staff, spend tbe weekend auditing, and re-open on Monday with emergency deposits to fix the ratio.
How many bank runs breaks the system?
Not permanently, but enough to remind the system that deposits rule lending.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a Thursday morning address that Russian forces have no plans to occupy Ukraine. However, Russia will defend itself if it is the only option presented, the president noted.
Putin has directed Russian forces to conduct a special operation in the Donbass region, according to February 24 remarks from the Russian president. Putin declared that he expects consolidated Parliamentary support for the operation in the Donbass region.
Putin remarked that the NATO-allied war machine supporting 'Neo-Nazis' in Ukraine is moving and closely approaching Russia's borders.
Responding to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky statement that Kiev may reconsider the country's non-nuclear status under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, Putin declared that Russia would not let such a thing happen.
The Russian president took time to address Ukrainian forces, urging Kiev's service members to lay down their arms and remember that they gave an oath to people, not junta.
"The circumstances make us take decisive and immediate actions. The people's republics of Donbas asked Russia for assistance," Putin said. "In this regard, in accordance with Article 51, Part 7 of the UN Charter, with the sanction of the Federation Council and in pursuance of the friendship and mutual assistance treaties with the DPR and LPR, ratified by the Federal Assembly, I have decided to conduct a special military operation."
Putin said that while politics is a dirty business, NATO's actions come contrary to morality and Russia cannot develop, feel safe, or exist with constant threats from Ukraine.

Leonid Pasechnik (L) and Denis Pushilin, Heads of the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Repuplic. The heads of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik, asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to offer help in repelling the aggression from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in order to avoid civilian casualties and prevent a humanitarian disaster in Donbass, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"Written requests have come through for Russian President Vladimir Putin from Leonid Pasechnik, the head of the Lugansk People’s Republic, and Denis Pushilin, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic," he said. "The heads of those republics on behalf of themselves and their peoples express their gratitude to the Russian president for the recognition of their states."
'''"Their appeals emphasize that amid the deteriorating situation and threats from Kiev, the republics’ citizens are currently forced to flee their homes, and their evacuation to Russia is ongoing. Amid the continuing military aggression by Ukraine’s Armed Forces, the republics are experiencing the destruction of civil and industrial infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and kindergartens, and worst of all, the deaths of the civilian population, including children," Peskov said, quoting the letters.
"Kiev is continuing its military buildup along the line of disengagement, simultaneously receiving comprehensive support, including military one, from the United States and other Western states. The Kiev regime is determined to resolve the conflict by force," the letters to Putin say.'''
"In view of the above, amid the current situation and in order to prevent civilian casualties and a humanitarian disaster, the two republics’ heads ask the Russian president to help in repelling the aggression of the Ukrainian armed forces and formations, in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of the friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance treaties between Russia and the republics," Peskov said.
