Russia 2022: Isolation
Losses were statutory. The wealth exists but is inaccessible. The CBR freeze was a “nuclear” administrative act, but trade continued with non-Western blocs.
Global 2026: Contagion
Wealth has “ceased to exist.” Because Iran sits on the global energy artery, every sector is taxed by the risk premium of a regional “hard stop.”
The “38x” Disparity
The 2026 wealth destruction is 38 times larger than the 2022 Russian asset freeze. This is not a local sanctions war; it is a global repricing of modern civilization.
