At work I had to take a course on US export control. The restrictions they bully everyone into are pretty nazi. Likewise with SWIFT. As evidenced by TFA it's always regular citizens that suffer. Compare this with EU sanctions that are targeted to particular companies and individuals.

Yeah. A few days ago I asked why was us demanding kyc/aml regulations from countries when in us itself its easy to set up an anonymous corporation because laws. Its supposed to protect people from doing transactions and getting your "privacy violated".
