It wasn't unexpected. At least not to the Russians. They had been building it the past 8 years. I'm sure US would know something like this and know how to calculate the odds of impact
Anyway, dollar strength hasn't been that bad recent year.

Still, with so much Western propaganda and hollywood celebs pitching in, this war seems so unreal and you d almost expect there being alternative motives in play.
Besides, bankers jumped through SO many hoops all around the world to protect their interest in the petrodollar.
Why would they not act accordingly when it comes to Bitcoin?
I guess I mean it was unexpected for me.
That crossed a line I'm not sure has been since swift started. But could be wrong.
