other countries happy to help
Don't have a link, as I saw it on the news yesterday, but it seems that the plan B is to channel all USD transactions through a Chinese alternative to SWIFT.

Chinese alternative to SWIFT.

Putin has been gearing up for more Yuan in his life for years. It aint no SWIFT but its a part solution. Combine that with off shore gold wealth and crypto, and maybe Russia could limp along for quite a long time. In any case, this is not something that the Russians have forgotten to plan for.

My worry is that this is how the conflict widens. I worry that there are plenty of other countries happy to help Putin with USD services.
