Currency and Bank Torture (CBT) is an economic activity involving the application of sanctions or seizures to Russian assets or businesses. This may involve directly disruptive activities such as tariffs, product sanctions, account freezes, import bans, SWIFT cutoff, or product service cutoff. The recipient of such activities may receive direct physical anger via nationalism, or emotional anger through an inferiority complex, or knowledge that the activity is pleasing to degenerate westerners. Many of these practices carry significant regime stability risks.
