As long as every institution that's required to make the payment happen buys in (and it is compliant with whatever regulations are involved for sender, recipient and intermediate institutions) one does not have to use SWIFT explicitly. That said, gruturo above (in our discussion about the associated ISO standards) makes a good case for why most banks default to SWIFT.
Laughable to think that NATO expansion alone would’ve been sufficient for the cost-benefit calculation here.

Putin wants his name in history books.

Going by history sanctions do tend to entrench authoritarian rulers. I still think there isn't any choice. He used the "Nuclear" word and now I think Europe's policy will be containment for a very long time.

Edit: added "be"
also - in 2022 you don't really need to have basis with nuclear missiles at the doorstep to be a threat (so much that Putin also escalated on this topic too). You have submarines that can launch an attack with nuclear missiles, you have intercontinental vectors to deliver nukes.

Putin is just trying to restore the idea of Russian Empire and/or Soviet Union. Same as Hitler trying to restore the German Empire.
It feels like a good time to watch encounter at farpoint. I cant think of the right Picard quote to pull from it but the general sentiment seems appropriate for the moment.
> Basically Russia becomes North Korea or Putin dies.

Or you know Putin can declare that the operation was succesfull and retreat back to Russia. Then he can spend the rest of his time spinning a story of how this was his plan all along. I don’t care as long as he is not making his people murder others at scale.
Everything will be back to normal in 4-8 years after a cease fire, though. So sanctions just hurt the most vulnerable of a 150m people country. Congratulations. That will surely prevent future wars like seen with the treaty of Versailles...
How many of those were active landgrabs though? Wars for redrawing borders have really become exceptionally rare. Particularly if you exclude those staged by Putin on some weak pretense (Putin, or whether his real name is. After the last weeks I don't believe a single word he says)
In this case you’re not hitting an enemy, though, you are hitting someone who’s actually on your side.
>China and Russia do have a competing system, it's used by China and Russia.

Don't both of them have competing SWIFT systems that don't talk to each other?
Sadly it’s been proven. Peace cannot be the highest priority.

Based on the Paradox of Tolerance it would be “Peace is the highest priority amongst the peaceful, except against a non-peaceful entity.”

> if we think our culture is in fact more free, it will leak into Russia via the internet.

Do you think Russian leaders should allow this to happen?
The reason Russia has elevated tyrants to power for centuries is deep-rooted in Russian soul to the point where it's not even a problem. It's something that is inexplicably difficult to understand unless you actually experience the culture for a good portion of your life. There is a lot of literature out there about the "Russian Soul" and I really recommend reading it to understand how this happens. In my opinion it's almost like a mass psychosis that everyone is aware of but have been "deprogrammed" to deal with and blaming people in Russia for atrocities of their regimes is like blaming a sick person for being sick. Most of the time they themselves were the victims while being told "it's just life, deal with it." With that said, people are slowly waking up and it's mostly young people who have the luxury of traveling the world and experiencing real democracies. Unfortunately, I think Russia will continue on its tyrannical path until the old generations die off and these younger folks take over.
Maybe that's a good thing?
These are probably good recommendations, but to be honest, this is just data. Any Russian still reading here obviously has a working internet connection and has technical interests and skills. To all those Russians I can only say: please help spread the information about what is going on in Ukraine. That should be the highest priority, not just to save some data. Russia is getting isolated for a reason. There is an invasion going on against a people which should be very close to Russia, most of them are Russian speaking. And the war just started to turn ugly. It seems, the Russian army is deploying cluster ammunition and thermobaric bombs against the civilian population of the Ukraine.

I know it is difficult and risky to speak up in such a situation, but it might be the only solution. I am a German and wished my ancestors had not tolerated the rise of the Nazi regime and its actions before and during the war. Most Germans still fell guilt about it, though most of us are obviously born long after the war. I don't think many are blaming the Russian people for what is going on, but I can only pledge for you to raise your voice.
Situation is not delicate - it is brutal.

Sanctions are not a crime against humanity. Nobody is forced to accept your currency, or to trade with you. Nobody is forced to provide dollar currency to the murderous, lying regime which has invaded Ukraine. Many Russians are supporting this evil war, out of cowardice or ignorance. They should share some of the pain. That may help them to wake up.
No, discrimination is discrimination. Racism is the assumption of a person's "race" - for most people that equates to skin colour and other physical properties but for some it goes deeper - being related to that person's character and abilities.

I live in Sweden but I'm not allowed to vote in national elections while I look just as Scandinavian as your average Sven. There are hundreds of thousands of people living in Sweden who do not look like Sven at all but are allowed to vote. Is Sweden being racist against me? No, they're just discriminating in who is allowed to vote, only those with Swedish nationality have that right. I´m not a Swede, hence I do not get to vote. This is a form of discrimination, but discrimination does not equate "bad" - I would not advice any country to allow foreign nationals to vote in their national elections.
Memories of Manually Initiated Fund Transfer training come flooding back!
If someone feels like they are losing either way (through words or conflict), making everyone lose through conflict instead of just them might not seems so bad. For the most part, people in western developed nations are sheltered from the fact that most of the world lives under much less secure circumstances, where things can fall apart very quickly. Even in the privileged world of developed nations, it doesn't take much to see the soft white underbelly of humanity that exists alongside us but is often ignored. Power and politics rarely align incentives in ways where everyone benefits equally.
From the start, if we think in realpolitical terms, we let him effectively keep Crimea and Donbas/Luhansk without giving the Ukraine material support to take them back, out of the fear of pouring fuel into the fire.

Putin had demands that were de facto impossible to fulfill, they read as if the US/European governments had power over e.g. the desires of the inhabitants of the Baltic states. They all wanted into the EU/NATO after the Cold War for reasons that aren't hard to empathize with.

In a security-political sense, making concessions that impact your weakest allies is a surefire way to destabilize your own alliance.

Also, why do we have to make concessions in terms of Ukraine and guaranteeing that Ukraine won't join EU/NATO? Putin should have been talking to Ukraine about that and giving concessions to Ukraine in exchange for staving off any alliance memberships - but it's now clear why he didn't.
Also Chechnya got little attention because early on, the separatists kidnaped journalists and held them for ransom. Gee, why was there so little subsequent coverage ?
I have always wondered, what combination of manual vs. automatic processes are happening when one makes a bank wire (actual gross settlement / instant wire transfers, not ACH for example in the US)?

Because whenever I have done wires, in addition to the bank/IBAN/account numbers, there are all these manual fields like "for further credit to", "for benefit of", etc. that are clearly having to be interpreted by someone. And very often errors come up and the funds are held or in limbo on one end or another.

Does anyone have a good explanation of what happens both on the initiating bank side and receiving bank side when a wire is done?

Does someone have to manually review an outgoing wire to allow it to proceed? Does the receiving bank have someone to review it inbound and route it correctly?

I imagine that this is why it still costs $25-40 to handle them.

Seems like this barrage of sanctions and anti-Russian sentiment will do nothing but push Russia further toward China. I really don’t see the West removing them easily, even if Russia withdrew immediately. No one seems to care about arriving at a solution that will minimize bloodshed. Instead the media is more reminiscent of 1984 and drumming up a war against Eurasia than of rational realpolitik.

This is the true birth of a multipolar world. Let’s hope it doesn’t lead to more conflicts.
Most of the institutions doing a good job with 20022 anyway have jumped to gpi which handles it out of the box. I'd say we see about half and half but we work with a lot of smaller institutions that aren't on GPI and aren't particularly sophisticated.

Even when you're admitting that "US did a lot of warmongering in the middle east" you want to give them some excuses, "I get that they wanted to retaliate after 9/11" you say? "retaliate" you say. Against whom exactly? How the (oppressed) Iraqi people or even Saddam Hussein has to do anything with the 9/11? Do I really need to remind you that Saddam was US ally? or that Qaeda was the US ally in the "freedom" war against USSR?
"But Europe hasn't done any of that" You say, but this is completely wrong, all or most of US wars were covered by European countries, even Ukraine sent 5000 Soldier to kill the Iraqi people. I get it this was in that weird mysterious place called "middle east" so who cares exactly.
Speaking personally, I would not turn back to the regime, that would apply that I liked it once. I never liked it.

You didn't actually think they would really hurt the interests of their true patrons - transnational corporations, big industry, high finance ?

This SWIFT ban only really affects the usual IBAN to IBAN transfer of the plebs and SMB's. Large payment processing and gross settlement transfers will just change to accomodating intermediary banks in China within a couple days, and that'll be that. Further fund movement will be done through the Russian-Chinese CIPS.

Never forget EU commissars are not elected officials, they are named by an totally informal group called "Eurogroup", to which supposedly only 15 EU presidents participate. However, as it's not formal, it's completely opaque how they get chosen.
Who started burning books in Cyrillic, firing Serb people from government jobs, fighting in the streets and killing those Croats that were for peace at the start? Whose president refused EC brokering and monetary help but only if Yugoslavia survived?

And it was Yugoslavian army that did those things.

The fact that you can't see the irony in supporting bombing of independent countries and at the same time not supporting it for those same stated reasons is unbelievable.
I see a lot of wishes for this to be over soon - and I feel the same. But realistically, I'm afraid that due to the severity of Russia's attack and the West's response, there's simply no perspective for a peaceful future with Putin in it. Whether Ukraine falls or prevails, there won't be peace as long as Putin is in charge.

This brings up the question of what to do about it - and, apart from an uprising by the Russian people leading to a regime change - there are few solutions that feel particularly pleasant.
That is completely untrue. Until a few days ago, RT was openly available throughout Europe. As far as I know, it is still available in America, which protects freedom of speech in its constitution.
Fine, I will move my domains this week, even though I'm not in Russia and I don't have affected TLDs.

You're punishing people for reasons they have zero control over. If you actually want to help, pick up a gun and go to Kiev.
Oh, please, let's not start blaming most Russians.

These sanctions are about ruining the Russian war machine, as well as demonstrating to other authoritarian governments tempted by imperialism that attacking democracies is a bad idea. Individual Russians (with the exception of oligarchs) are collateral damage. And despite the fact that Russians are (probably) going to suffer deeply for it, it's (probably) the right way to do it, because any other strategy (that I can think of) involves either nuclear bombs falling sooner or later.

Of course, if Russians somehow manage to reinstate democracy in their country, that will be the best outcome. But don't count on it, revolutions are hard and deadly.
Ha, now do Russia.
Either that, or I'm a raving busy lunatic! :-D
The sky is not falling for those government employed workers yet. First the private sector will degrade and government will try to squeeze every last cent out of it to pay the public sector workers. So when that dries up, then you can expect trouble. But this process can last for some time, it doesn't usually happen overnight. I know that there are major sanctions and West is trying to tank Russian economy, but don't expect to see public sector workers on the streets just yet.

>Western intelligence agencies have good visibility into Putin right now and are closely watching his moves for any significant behavioral changes, several current and former officials said. Four U.S. officials said there is no intelligence saying he is mentally unstable, but they said he has displayed a different pattern of behavior from in the past.

>The U.S. has solid intelligence that Putin is frustrated and directing unusual bursts of anger at people in his inner circle over the state of the military campaign and the worldwide condemnation of his actions, one former and two current U.S. officials briefed on the intelligence said.

>That is unusual, they say, because Putin, a former intelligence officer, usually keeps his emotions in check.

It does though. Latest Putin demands involve complete demilitarization of Ukraine. For what purpose? Invading it better afterwards?
Doesn't matter which framework if you implement it right. Filtering data from the dataset is plain js, and it will be slow. Rendering the data to screen requires a lot of work, such as using offscreen-buffers for smooth scrolling etc. Actually ag-grid does this pretty well, and I've used it for similar in a React app. Now hold your horses, ag-grid is angular 1.x, encapsulated as a component. Another proof that the framework is not important, you need to optimize hell out of it.

The Russophobia that has been pouring out is lamentable. And people don't realise this will only push the Russian people further towards Putin to re-establish their pride. And the sanctions are making this even worse. This mirrors Germany's treatment with the Treaty of Versailles leading up to WWII.

> .so ukraine joining nato is not that much different

Yeah it is, the Baltics are already in NATO. Ukraine joining would not significantly change the balance of power in the region.

Cuba on the other hand was far more significant because the Soviet Union did not otherwise have assets so close to the US.

Also the US never invaded Cuba in the way Russia invaded Ukraine. Their actions were more comparable to Russian support of DPR and LPR.

As these sanctions kick in I think we're going to see less and less sympathy from the Russian people.
This is dishonesty. There is no “protection” story. There is no credible threat and Russia has nukes.

You cant accept every argument someone makes. Because they’ll realize it in short order and then make stupid arguments to manipulate you.

“Russia needs to protect itself from Ukraine” is a dishonest, stupid argument.

I was considering picking it up when it was around $1k but now that it's over $3k there's no way.

If I did the math right, the odds of hitting the opening hand you want is 0.00004%. Give or take a mulligan and maybe being able to get the combo off on turn two or three I think that's high enough odds that one could conceivably eventually succeed (assuming they can find opponents for years and years).
Wasn't that a citizen of the US ally Saudi Arabia that "blew up American city"?

My name is Lukas. I'm co-founder of Turing College (YC W21), an online data & coding school in Europe.

We decided to use our network of 40+ tech companies & know-how to help tech-savvy Ukrainians find new career opportunities in European Union.

Due to the fast escalating war in Ukraine, many of its citizens are immigrating to Europe to save their lives!

Expected that up to 5M Ukrainians can leave their home country due to war! Over 0.5M have already fled in just over four days!

Many of these refugees left their jobs, so they are looking for new opportunities!

We've created a website where Ukrainians, who have experience in IT, can leave information about themselves. We will share this information with legit companies that are hiring!

We're collecting applications for these positions:

- Marketing specialists of any kind (growth, performance, PPC marketers, etc.)
- QA specialists.
- Software developers of any kind.
- Data scientists/ML engineers/analysts of any kind.
So if you're hiring for a remote position or your company has an office in Europe, you can apply here: https://www.turingcollege.com/stay-with-ukraine

If you know war refugees, looking for jobs in tech, please share this opportunity with them!

P.s. some Ukrainians've stayed and are looking for remote opportunities! We will share information about them as well!

I'm looking forward to your feedback about this initiative; maybe you have ideas on how we can reach more people?
