the financial walls were not created to keep Russia out of the financial system; the walls were erected in the Western zone to keep the dollar-based system locked-in.

The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in.  The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.

Romanian dictator Ceausescu is another, who along with his wife, certainly received some brutal justice (I.e., receiving the consequences of your actions). And power corrupts? I have a copy of the Hawaiian historian R.J. Rummel"s sobering book "Death by Government", which i pick up now and then to remind me of what barbarism humans are capable of.

After reading this post, and regardless of what is happening now, I thought of the uniqueness of the founding of the United States, the Declaration, Constitution, founding fathers, 1776 and all that. Compared to all of History, an extraordinary event.
