does sanction count as choking? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
technically yes it could, however for the plethora of sanctions that have been imposed upon russia it's basically slowed them down maybe 15% of their economic strength. If they can't trade on the SMART system, they'll literally fly gold bullion to where they wanna buy stuff, if they can't obtain the dollar, they'll trade on the yuan. If visa won't process their payments, they can do that themselves.
you aren't gonna hear about this on western news but these sanctions have shown the "world beyond the west" that the economic power that we told them we have is about as empty as the fiat currencies that we all use.
Money talks, and technically speaking we don't have any of it. not a penny.
