Why stay in SWIFT when it's been demonstrated that they can be cut off from global supply on the whims of the US administration? That one decision did more for the death of the American empire than any other.

It was a joint decision, taken by the US administration, the EU council, the UK and Canada in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine -- not just something the Americans came up with.
