Only some Russian banks have been cut off from SWIFT, not all, and their currency has only dropped 30% or so, which is far from being “worth nothing”.

Yes, Russia’s economy is being severely crippled. But you exaggerate the extent significantly.

Exactly zero russian banks have been cut off from SWIFT so far. The cut will only happen on March 12th.

Indeed. So I should have said only some Russian banks are even going to be cut off from SWIFT (at least as far as we know now).
