You're joking, right? You think locking out a puny economy like Russia's out of the world's financial system is going to be the end of the dollar?
What are you smoking?

It's not the size of the economy that is getting kicked out, it is the action of SWIFT deciding to boot out a powerful country which will make 80% of the other countries in the world think twice about relying on SWIFT. What rational nation is going to risk being cut off and impoverished overnight by a banking cartel and not hedge their bets with alternative system and currencies? NONE.

Leftist Trudeau though he was a genius by seizing the bank accounts of protesters but then the bank run on Canada changed his mind very quickly. Fewer than 200 accounts were frozen and depositors panicked.

Most other countries want to kick Putin out of SWIFT. In fact, the initial impetus for this came from Europe.
