Serious question though, are all these moves really wise? I get the desire to punish Russia but it looks to me like their economy is inextricably meshed with Europe, so trade will find a way. And I'm not so sure the average Russian will view these sanctions as a necessary response as much as an attack from the West.
If anything, it looks to me like this incentivizes Russia, China, quite likely some European countries too to look for an escape hatch out of the USD/swift system, and other countries that the US will need oil from Iran, Venezuela are more allied with Russia than the US. All in all, this feels like a sheriff busting into the local saloon and demanding the bar be shutdown because the proceeds are going to the local gang. That may be justifiable, but is everyone else actually going to react in the spirit intended, or a they predictably going to find alternative arrangements while learning how to subvert the current order?
