Any Idea why Bitcoin pumping after the sanction was announced?

As this guy has rightly identified, there are inherent flaws with democracies: 1. Short term political agendas, 2. Policies orientated towards electability, 3. Politicians capable of being bought and corruption given that they have a short window to leave their mark and make gains... And all of this is being exploited perfectly by Russia and China by making the West economically dependent, flooding western economies with their money (purchasing properties, housing oligarchs etc.). Sometimes its hard to see if that could ever rival the long termism of autocracies. In spite of this, autocracies equally have their inherent flaws: 1. Finite lives of dictators (hence foreign policies should base themselves around this- i.e. the potential political turmoil when Putin becomes senile in 10yrs or so), 2. Tensions between the political and business classes (the latter who value free enterprise and innovation and hence free thinking) 3. The value and use of western education systems, 4. The corruption and indolence that will ensue when the children of ruling class feel entitled and/or get into power

The tanking of the rouble appears to answer that question

From the way the Russian economy is tanking I'd say the answer to this question is No.

Very accurate stuff well done

The swift ban is not in effect yet. It will be the 12th. There might be ways to get around it but it’s really not easy for normal business to do so and trading with other countries becomes really tedious. Try to do business with an Iranian company or even hire an Iranian freelancer and you will realize that sanctions on banks are extremely efficient. It makes exports harder and thus harder to get foreign capital into the country and protect the Rubble from keep crashing.

Alistair Milne is exactly right.

We rarely see honest analysts like him on MSM.

It is not the politicians that are weak. It is the voters that are weak. That is true.

Chris Beauchamp forgot to mentioned how North American farmers will profit greatly by grain exports (though their domestic consumers certainly well not(.

who builds Putins table ive never seen one 50 ft. long

Is this man really a professor? He first said 'kurdistan' (a non-existing country) communicates with Russian banks and secondly he claims that kicking a country out of SWIFT doesn't matter a lot. Well, Iran was kicked out of SWIFT in 2012. Look what it did to the economy of that country. On the other hand, I totally agree with his idea of parliamentary sanction of all economic transactions with Russia.

Only at the cost to the individual Russian that Putin cares nothing about. Russian military prep was awful and most likely their financial prep will be the same.

I think Putin's biggest battle and threat is from his own people. If Putin ever opens his stock exchange again it will be a blood bath only compounding hid problems.
