SWIFT was built as a financial messaging system to support global commerce.
However the U.S. Biden-led sanctions, de-swifting and confiscation of personal assets of Russians and foreign reserves effectively ends the current global economy resulting in a massive monetary-economical waterfall crisis.
And thus, ironically the US has sealed the fate of the USD itself and made inherently apparent, the alternatives to the US/Eurodallar SWIFT paradigm - or by design.
To align with the WEF narrative of a “great reset”, the role of USD as world reserve currency has to collapse to allow for a new digital world currency.
Ordo ab Chao
A Fourth Turning 1, realigning the NATO/Europe/Russia/China axis has truly arrived - a generational era of destruction, involving global revolution, in which institutional life is destroyed and rebuilt in response to a perceived threat to the nation's survival. Described a four-stage cycle of social eras aka "turnings" by Strauss & Howe.
The turnings include: "The High", "The Awakening", "The Unraveling" and "The Crisis". Each generational turning lasts about 20–22 years. The “Four turnings” make up a full cycle of about 80 to 90 years.
Each of these turnings can be described as the "seasons of history", with each Fourth Turning describing a distinct mood that recurs every saeculum.
Generational change drives these cycle of turnings and determine its periodicity. As each generation ages into the next life phase (and a new social role) society's mood and behavior fundamentally changes, giving rise to a new turning.
The First Turning is a High, which occurs after a Crisis.
In the US, this was the post–World War II American High, beginning in 1946 and ending with the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.The Second Turning is an Awakening, whereby institutions are attacked in the name of personal and spiritual autonomy. People tire of social discipline and want to recapture a sense of "self-awareness", "spirituality" and "personal authenticity".
The US's most recent Awakening was the "Consciousness Revolution," which spanned from the campus and inner-city revolts of the mid-1960s to the tax revolts of the early 1980s.The Third Turning is an Unraveling, whereby Institutions are weak and distrusted, whilst individualism is strong and flourishing.
Highs come after Crises, when society wants to coalesce and build and avoid the death and destruction of the previous crisis. Unravelings come after Awakenings, when society wants to atomize and enjoy.
The most recent Unraveling in the US began in the 1980s and includes the Long Boom and Culture War.The Fourth Turning is a Crisis.
This is an era of destruction, often involving war or revolution, in which institutional life is destroyed and rebuilt in response to a perceived threat to the nation's survival. After the crisis, civic authority revives, cultural expression redirects towards community purpose, and people begin to locate themselves as members of a larger group.
The previous Fourth Turning in the US began with the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and climaxed with the end of World War II. The G.I. Generation (Hero archetype, born 1901 to 1924) came of age during this era - epitomised by confidence, optimism, and collective outlook mood of that era.
The Millennial Generation (Hero archetype, born 1982 to 2004) show many similar traits to those of the G.I. youth, epitomised by rising civic engagement, improving behavior, and collective confidence
Framed within the context of turnings, the erosion of trust between Russia and the West has brought us to the brink of a conflict that could have far reaching consequences for Europe, a restructuring of the Bretton Woods II and global monetary system and ushering a multipolar realignment
It could be the intentional provocation and egging on of Ukraine with the coy suggestion of membership consideration into EU and NATO has led to the inevitable current crisis - viewed as an opportunity for the US and its NATO allies to “exacerbate” tensions in order to weaken Putin.
With Biden repeatedly whipping up MSM stories of a imminent Russian invasion, there was a distinct “wag the dog” scenario playing out the week prior to February 24th special military operations by the Russian Armed Forces, preceeded by a massive military strategic positioning and joint military exercise “Union Courage-2022” upon the Belarusian-Ukraine borders on February 10th.
And upon that fateful day, at 06:00 Moscow time 24th February 2022 (06.6.II.6) - Putin announced a "special military operation" in eastern Ukraine, in order to protect people "who have been suffering from abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years."
There may be trouble ahead.

Footnotes
The Strauss–Howe generational theory, devised by William Strauss and Neil Howe, describes a theorized recurring generation cycle in American history and global history.
According to the theory, historical events are associated with recurring generational personas (archetypes). Each generational persona unleashes a new era (called a turning) lasting around 20–25 years, in which a new social, political, and economic climate (mood) exists. They are part of a larger cyclical "saeculum" (a long human life, which usually spans between 80 and 100 years.
Strauss and Howe laid the groundwork for their theory in their 1991 book Generations, which discusses the history of the United States as a series of generational biographies going back to 1584.
In their 1997 book The Fourth Turning, the authors expanded the theory to focus on a fourfold cycle of generational types and recurring mood eras to describe the history of the United States, including the Thirteen Colonies and their British antecedents. However, the authors have also examined generational trends elsewhere in the world and described similar cycles in several developed countries
