Gref warned Washington against large-scale anti-Russian sanctions

166
The head of Sberbank, German Gref, warned the United States against imposing large-scale sanctions against Russia and said that if they were adopted, the Cold War would seem like “child's play,” reports RIA News.





One of Russia's top bankers said that the potentially far-reaching new sanctions of the United States could "make it so that a cold war would seem like child's play,"
writes the Financial Times newspaper, interviewing Gref.

During the interview, Gref called the “irrational step” the possible disconnection of Russia from the interbank SWIFT system under the new restrictive measures on the part of Washington.

As the newspaper notes, in favor of disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, Western politicians have been speaking since 2014, when the first sanctions were imposed because of the crisis in Ukraine. Due to the deterioration of relations between Moscow and Washington, there is a possibility that politicians will return to the consideration of this idea.

Earlier, Gref said that he allowed some expansion of anti-Russian sanctions, but it is unlikely to be critical.

Recall that SWIFT is an international interbank system for transmitting information and making payments. More than 10,8 thousand largest organizations in more than 200 countries are connected to it. In 2015, the Russian equivalent of the SWIFT system, the Mir electronic settlement system, was created.

          The “roof has moved down” from the gref, and here he declares such a “navel” as a bank, like in Chubais - “bulk money”! But hold on - We, and give money, stsuki give Medvedev, he does not have enough, however.

          The SWIFT money transfer system is, roughly speaking, just a logistics of money. Inside Russia, you will somehow connect your banks, but with foreign banks and the possibility of credit and money relations with foreign partners, you will be completely sealed. Turning off Swift will be another significant factor in isolating the Russian economy from the global, generally isolation of the Russian Federation. Surely the state banks of the Russian Federation will be the first to disconnect from Swift, which is why Gref warns, and in truth - the dude is a great coward.

            Do not make me laugh. The seam WILL NOT. Firstly, after the imposition of sanctions, many will not want to work with ours, and secondly, you did not ask yourself a question, but how did you work before ....? That's how they will work, after the "shutdown", but the speed of communication will decrease, but will not stop. That's exactly what Iranian banks acted under sanctions. Decades have worked.

      No, Gref says it’s all, the bottom line is that we don’t have to do anything - the United States does everything. US hegemony is based on the spread of the "nutrient base" isolating the nutrient base and excluding it from their diet, they have corresponding difficulties when political decisions interfere with profit - these things have already torn Ukraine, made a turmoil in Europe.

        Spook, 08:32. Translated into Russian, this means: Guests (Russia trying to integrate into a Western house) threatens the owners of the house (West). Well, what an insolence! AND! Then Gref sounded like a tirade about strata and the inadmissibility of commoners to power. And this, in his opinion, was fair. And now Gref and Russia act as commoners. All according to his philosophy. But he doesn’t like it. Again, in Russian speaking: On the tricky ass of Gref and Russia, there was a cunning bolt. Their attempts to command in a strange (Western) house are rebuffed. But they don’t want to build their home-Russia (and alliances with Russia). There is a question of either-or. Or guests obey the requirements of the owners of the house, or build their own house with their own laws. In another way. hi

            of the minuses is that ours can switch to the Chinese system in international payments, that is, the Chinese will have new customers added, even the old ones will decrease. the role of the Chinese will increase, the European will decrease. and Russia will still have the opportunity to accept payments for gas, though through the Chinese.

            Walking, 08:32. What then means the seizure of Russia's accounts? World collapse? Are suicides in the West? And why with the huge debt of the United States, there is no inflation? Maybe the arrest of Russia's accounts will be the burning of extra money? The seizure of accounts is the impossibility of purchasing modern technologies and discarding them in technological development. We ruined our industry ourselves, science too. But they did not spare money for yachts and sports clubs. It turns out the ditching of their science and production did not overwhelm the whole system, but gave it a breath of fresh air. And now the corpse will be able to crush the whole System? Or maybe it’s easier for the System not to let resuscitate and revive a corpse? Why is the System a competitor?

        Not. At macro levels - perhaps the EU will spend half a percent percentage in 3-6 months.

        This measure will result in:
        - to the activation of national systems / transition to the Chinese from countries that now have the prospect of sanctions. But for many countries, it will pass relatively unnoticed, for example, Pakistan is now in the Chinese system even more than in this of your Swift.
        - serious problems in export-import for the Russian Federation and partners. You have to conclude regular direct deals, use schemes and alternatives. All this will reduce the direct competitiveness of such operations, because more time, more costs, more risks.
        - Another round of tension in the world.
        - those who have cards in Swift - will storm banks for money and cards.

                  The oligarchs are already running. The Board of CB North Credit has already fled, with all the money of the state and investors. Prior to this, Dmitry Ananyev would have taken out all his capital for treatment thereby emptying PromSvyazBank, but another thing is surprising, namely the Central Bank of Russia wants to pour into a bank where there is no capital of 100-200 billion rubles. And here there are thoughts that the depositors of this bank were shaved for such an amount and somehow it is necessary to return money to the people. And this is only for a week. And how many oligarchs escaped without light? This is an outflow of capital, it can lead to a panic of those in power. The only bank left soon is the Central Bank.

    If the West is so stupid as to impose sanctions in the banking sector, then these are the problems of the West. Disconnecting from Swift is not catastrophic. They say that they can confiscate the unjustly acquired. But all experience teaches that you can confiscate only once.
    Question to Western bankers. If you confiscate (seize) the deposits of Russian oligarchs, then in what currency will the money be injected? Or will all oligarchs immediately become honest and stop stealing? The seizure of oligarch accounts immediately bring down the dollar system. As well as the euro and the yen and any other Western currency. The export of capital will cease immediately. Where to export if accounts are blocked?
    It's a shame to lose a trillion bucks. But ... what are the prospects !!!! The export of capital from Russia will stop, because there will be nowhere to export. Did Gref think about this? Or is he only concerned with the SWIFT system? That is, he still wants to rob the country and export capital?

      Of course he wants to rob the country. The owners of the Fed can not confiscate the money of the oligarch of the Russian Federation at the same time, because the oligarch at once became a beggar, it is REALLY SCARY. Even I, an active supporter of the use of nuclear weapons at the nesting place of the owners of the Fed and their slaves, am horrified at what the "tattered" oligarchy of the Russian Federation will do. Therefore, the owners of the Fed will act subtler - by the method of "breaking the crowd", when you first bend only the weakest physically and mentally, and after reaching a certain critical mass in the crowd, the strong begin to bend.

        The tattered oligarchy will not do anything already, the guys will take their places a step lower, and these will remain on the women: depression, insomnia, alcoholism, madness and suicide, some will seek outs for a decent life, only not all of them will reach the end - and half of the oligarchs realize this, that a catastrophe can happen at any moment, all their property abroad can be taken away - arrested, at any moment.

          You are new to human psychology. Irrevocably lose a lot, you can survive it, but with the loss of EVERYTHING and when it is clear who took everything from you, the person is demolished and if he has access to something dangerous (weapons, poisons, fire, information), he’s right there uses it without bothering. But in Ukraine there is no barrier, because even with such a development of events, the oligarch of the Russian Federation hopes to negotiate with the owners of the Fed, not realizing that there can be no agreements between a predator and prey.

      Bakht, 09:43. But does the situation with the Chicago mafia resemble? There were also cool chelas with connections. They lived well, but not for long. Our oligarchs simply raved about life according to the laws of the West. Their dream comes true. What is the problem? Their dreams come true. Arrests of accounts will not bring down the dollar system at all. No one even noticed the arrest of Libya’s accounts.

        And how many were arrested in Libya? A couple of hundred billion. They were exported from Russia and converted into dollars for twenty years. But this is a loot. This can hardly be returned.
        I ask about the future. What to convert loot? Elementary, who will invest money in the bank, if he knows for sure that in a month the account will be confiscated? The West lives off the robbery of the colonies. For this there is a comprador bourgeoisie. They can impressively pin down a couple of oligarchs. But the West will never risk destroying the entire system. And Gref in this situation is worried precisely for the loot of the oligarchs. "Do not touch SWIFT, otherwise we will not be able to transfer money to the West."

          Bakht, 13:02. Arresting accounts, the West does not destroy the system, but supports it. Removing extra money makes the system more stable. In the world system, the share of our oligarchs is not very large. Strangle a couple of our oligarchs and keep the rest alive? There is no point in this. They will choke everyone. The system has been tested for a long time and works without failures. Or a full package of punishments, or a deal with the investigation and relief. For the West, our oligarchs are tantamount to a street gang.

            I do not agree. The system is based on trust. The banking system is in full trust. When you bring money to the bank, it means that you TRUST the money to the bank. With full guarantee that the money will be returned to you. If this guarantee does not exist, then there is no banking system. So a complete confiscation means a complete collapse of the banking system. You can, of course, cut the sickle into the balls. And even stay alive. But I assure you that there will be no children after this.

    another significant factor in isolating the Russian economy from the global, generally isolation

    Yes, you quit with far-fetched isolation. For over the past ten years, they have been isolating and tearing to shreds, all to nothing. And imagine if you isolate the Russian economy and finance from the world overnight, what can happen? The Russian economy has long been closely interconnected with the world.

    Gref clearly said what he was afraid of — specifically disconnecting from SWIFT and more broadly — excluding the Russian banking system from the international financial sphere.
    Imagine the actual exclusion of Russia or any other country altogether from the system of international payments, that is, withdrawal from the system of international trade. Russia, not North Korea, for us is the collapse of the entire system formed after 1991. A return to almost military communism - what do you think, under military communism, how many hours of life are given to Gref and his ilk? He is afraid, of course. But even at their own expense, not even personal only, but also the accumulations of the social group that he represents - they are mainly focused on "earning" here, and spending there ... Here, I'm afraid German Oskarovich will end his own, without waiting for the "military communists."

    SWIFT system speeds up interbank operations. But disconnecting a bank from it is not = closing it. Contracts and agreements will also be concluded and signed, only the fact of signing will be of a personal nature (arrival, meeting, signing, farewell, county). Perhaps this is not bad, because in the modern world, you cannot be completely sure that you are talking with the very person you wanted (this is about the stories with Vovan and Lexus). And about the movement of money, it’ll be like old time — a money train (or a plane, for example TU95 smile ), but your money in your pocket. So you look, and the whole world will reach for us.

        I also say that it is safer to transport money in cash under the protection of the military. On Mondays and Thursdays, 2-3 TU95, accompanied by the SU34 link, fly to Western Europe or the United States to transfer money. And we are calmer, and the pilots training.

          This is how much air fuelers need to be arranged along the route, to provide for their change and a new arrangement. And taking into account their small number (As of 2013, there are 6950 aircraft in a separate air group of 21 Guards Air Base (Ryazan).). And what to do after six months of such exploitation (motor resource will end). The laugh is simple.

    Let's move on to the MIR cards.

    The main thing here is that all banks have time to connect to this system within the country ... before the "shutdown"

    The SWIFT money transfer system is, roughly speaking, just a logistics of money. Inside Russia, you will somehow connect your banks, but with foreign banks and the possibility of credit and money relations with foreign partners, you will be completely sealed. Turning off Swift will be another significant factor in isolating the Russian economy from the global, generally isolation of the Russian Federation. Surely the state banks of the Russian Federation will be the first to disconnect from Swift, which is why Gref warns, and in truth - the dude is a great coward.

    Oh, these “katanas”, pretending to be sharp, but actually making sounds of quack-quack of rubber ducks in a bathhouse for kids.
    Swift is not a clearing system. This is a telecommunication system that speeds up the transmission of information. After it is turned off, there will be no “seams”, but simply a slowdown in work and an increase in rustling with pieces of paper. Turning it off for Russia is petty dirty trickery, it cannot create any global problems in principle. However, it will be a certain step (deliberate sabotage) that will begin an open confrontation, which Gref said.

    If you are always one step late, pacify the aggressor, call him a "partner" and, speaking with an interview to a foreign newspaper, warn someone, then you need to understand this gentleman that the Security Council will not only work in Crimea, but throughout Russia after the introduction of sanctions by the Americans? Is this a warning to us, or a receipt in your own impotence? If a warning, thanks! But what to do? Or maybe this is another “agreement” with American capital on the withdrawal of deposits?
    But perhaps this is “another special operation”, the script is gleaned from the tales of “Uncle Remus”, where Brother Rabbit begs Brother Brother Fox not to throw him in a thorn bush, but when he finds himself in it, he is glad that he has deceived the stupid Fox, because Brother Rabbit is in the blackthorn like at home.

And the German cunningly asked the dumbheads what kind of capital of Judostana, and the niggas in confusion found their secret residence in Kafa on Wikipedia for which Gref’s great-grandmother -Rosalia Zalkid baked kara-wai from kosher crabs after which niggas fell to the bottom. And the triumphant Gref punched a hole in the lapel of his jacket for the next order.
