First you say sanctions won’t work and name alternatives to SWIFT. People were already expecting them to switch. No one thought Russia would sit on his hands if a banking standard was banned. And SWIFT isn’t the only sanction. Companies refusing to do business there and the eventual brain drain will do more damage than SWIFT.

Your next point was China will support Russia, but do you really think they’re trying to help? They probably want to milk Russia of all their oil on the low.

I’m not familiar with the UNSC and Libya conflict so I won’t comment on that, but I don’t see the analogy to what Russia is doing and the sanctions imposed.
