That applies to a lot of known future sanctions. Eg clearly Germany would like to not need any gas pipeline, and Russia will aim to build more pipelines to China before German governments can say no more Russian gas. However, could excluding them from Swift at some point between 2014 and this week be justified?

Absolutely, the German Banks can send trucks to collect their loans in Rubles. No biggie.
