Roman, dear Roman! Please point me to the military expert(s) that have informed your thinking here. The Ukrainians are stopping Russia and they were the 27th most powerful military (in one ranking) in 2020. So you're telling the country which spends 10x what Russia spends can't stop Russia?

It's politics, not military means, that keeps the U.S. out of the war.

How does the war have anything to do with the growth or success of SPFS? SWIFT altneratives have been around for a while.

Do you have an angle here? I just don't get it!

Look at professional sports. Time and time again 2nd rate atheletes try to start new leagues and they always fail. It's just not human nature.

Do the powerful of the world really care if the West seizes the assets of a nation that's sent 100,000 untrained young men into a country to blow everything up? No. Privately, they're happy. Russia started it. You can talk all about how the criminal had a bad childhood, was taunted, etc.,etc., in the end, criminals are taken out when they go to far.
