Russia has its SPSF system, and China has the CIPS system as alternatives to SWIFT. The Chinese network is much larger than the Russian system. After banning the Russian central bank from SWIFT, the US has put its most important asset, the US$’s global reserve currency status into the gamble. Putin would not have made his Ukraine move without planning for this US move, which was why he signed the China agreements in early February.
Since Russia’s economy depends on raw material exports, and since we are heading into inflationary times which are like the 1970s, the Russian economy is in good shape to weather higher inflation. There is a natural match between the Russian economy and Chinese economy because China is the largest manufacturing economy in the world.
Europe will be hit VERY HARD by the sanctions because it does not have natural resources, and Russians will buy from China what they used to buy from Europe. This means that the euro will also suffer.
The final outcome of this financial war will be whether the US$ remains as the world’s global reserve currency. If the US loses this war, what lies ahead for the US is very bleak because all US assets will lose their premium valuations. This will be much worse than a recession.
