Study General Meade at Gettysburg. He didn't do shock and awe. He retreated at first, kept huge reserves, and used them sparingly. He won.
Shills left pretty quick, must be a narrative change incoming.
SWIFT primer: If you ban some banks and not others, there's an easy workaround by using banks not banned. Foreign banks can front for you by leaving "beneficial owner" line on SWIFT MT form blank. If Central Bank can pay/send they can act as fiscal agent for banned banks.
Had a chat with some heavy's today about this. There will be some turbulence in the markets (oil will go past $100 likely) but this is not Armageddon, not even close. The scale of markets is very hard for most to fathom. The big players really can't move that fast. It's hard to re-allocate billions on a dime. Gold will likely see a pop as well. Check the charts for both at weeks end, that was the market pricing this in.
