Скачать или смотреть From SWIFT to Multipolar Money — Why the Dollar Loses Leverage After Two Thousand Twenty Two

On February twenty sixth, two thousand twenty two, the West used a financial weapon that was supposed to be decisive. Russia was cut off from SWIFT, and hundreds of billions in reserves were frozen. The message was clear. Access to the global financial system could be revoked for political reasons. But what happens when the infrastructure that holds world trade together becomes a tool of coercion. And why does the same pattern repeat whenever a dominant power weaponizes finance.

This documentary breaks down the mechanism and the sequence that follows every time. Stage one, a dominant power controls critical payment infrastructure. Stage two, it weaponizes that system for foreign policy. Stage three, the target builds alternatives and reroutes trade. Stage four, neutral countries hedge because they realize they could be next. Stage five, the original weapon loses power as monopoly becomes optional.

We trace four historical precedents that echo this logic. Britain’s financial actions in nineteen fourteen and the long decline from sterling dominance. The United States freezing Iranian assets in nineteen seventy nine and the trust shock it created. The Russia sanctions after Crimea in two thousand fourteen that gave time to prepare. And the two thousand twenty two SWIFT cutoff that triggered rapid diversification, alternative payment corridors, and accelerating de dollarization.
