Economist Richard Wolff warns that barring Russia from SWIFT constitutes economic warfare that will disrupt global trade and drive inflation higher. He notes that Germany was initially hesitant because the move makes it impossible to pay for Russian gas, potentially leading to a supply cutoff. Wolff suggests this will accelerate the end of the SWIFT monopoly as Russia, China, and Iran develop alternative systems.

The segment is criticized for its Marxist framing and for failing to provide a pro-capitalist counter-argument to Wolff's claims.
