These Sanctions not hurting Russia

[digital022]

On a basic level, the sanctions are meant to put the squeeze on the russian people in general so they in turn put political pressure on Putin to stop the war.

I wish Putin luck with his 2022 goals of becoming closed off to the world like north korea.

[RICHSTRONG]

Almost every Russian I’ve talked to says they support the war and they are all fine with the sanctions as ot hardly affects them. They are a closed society that has everything they need to survive and all of them made jokes about MacDonalds closing saying they will be healthier now - they give zero fuks

Can you make me a slushie whilst you expand on all the Russians you know?

[AlfBundy]

What was Russia thinking voting for a manlet.

Apparently, because Russia was disrespected for years (by the USA) after the dissolution of the Soviet Union



Cliffs:

- Soviet Union dissolved
- Leaked document by US basically saying only the US can be a superpower
- NATO boundaries respected until Clinton's second term
- NATO expands eastward despite promises previously made
- Russian population feels disrespected, making their president unpopular. Made to feel like insignificant peasants
- Putin comes to power, asks to join NATO. The US turns him down. Putin asks to become part of the EU, EU turns him down
- Putin concludes USA cannot be trusted

Lel. Every Russian who gets paid in roubles lost 50% of their earning power this week, can't invest in foreign companies, and can no longer use ubiquitous technologies like Apple Pay and Netflix.

Plz come visit us and tell us how based and redpilled being the most sanctioned nation in the entire world is.

Unless I'm misreading your post, where you mean the Russian middle/lower classes and not the American middle/lower classes. Either way, middle/lower classes always get left holding the bag, don't care what country.

All that stuff is easily replacable with a little time and money, if anything it just goes to show how relying on globotech is a national security threat. I'd be much more worried about being a European rn and potentially losing actual real resources of value.

No fast food, no social media, no video games, no porn.

Russia is going to be the sole superpower by 2030 if they keep it up.

Funny you mention it, take these away from the plebs and there will be riots on the streets.

[AWillis]

Putin is getting totally humiliated right now. Soon another manlet will rope itself SRS

he could snap you like a twig even now, at the age of 68

- financial markets gone, investors fleeing, currency is worth peanuts
- stock exchange has been closed since the invasion
- container shipping with the exception of food, medical and essentials mostly gone
- carmaking gone
- air travel, airplane parts and know how gone
- companies leaving in droves, boatload of people got canned already
- sovereign bond payments are due next week

They are actually a week/a couple of days away from going full Venezuela style default

Most likely in prison along with them.

No doubt its painful, but I have a feeling all this has been planned and prepared for very well. The Western brands leaving at least does not matter that much. Time will tell who is correct.

Ok.

They got China backing them, and the west has China producing essentially all of their goods.

[TheGoldenBull]

sanctions only push Russia toward China.

This was expected though. This is chess not checkers.

Petro Yuan will be the future.

[katya422]

Hurting Russia was never the point of this theater srs

Agree.

Of Russia?

The poor and middle class of everywhere that people need fuel and food.

I believe this. The lower classes were already accustomed to a different standard of living.

When a country repeatedly fails to hold up to what their diplomats have said to you that seems like a reasonable response.

Russia will come out of this stronger. It will take a few years but being severed from internationist corporate garbage will eventually be for the best. Russia is Iran's closest ally and they have not only seen what America and the west have done to them (terrorist attacks, attempted color revolutions, massive sanctions, etc.) but how the nation has survived and is becoming more self sufficient. If Iran can survive and grow so can Russia, and in fact Russia with its land and resources will grow into a very prosperous nation hopefully. But they have to weather this storm and it included standing up to "liberal hegemony."

Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia already had their new financial network in place, and in all signs point to them going back on the gold standard. The west is still piddling around with debt instruments and while may appear to have the upper hand now, we're all going to get cucked hard with all of those in on the build back better plan across the globe.

[Shysty021]

Russia produces oil. You know..... the fuking thing the ENTIRE world needs. Biden is a fuking retarded POS and we'll be feeling the pain once gas prices double

Can't even imagine being a tiny ugly POS like tuna**** bahahahaha

Russia was already increasing the cost of oil/gas they export to compensate for the war. Since they were doing that the white house said fuk it…we’re no longer buying it and get it from somewhere else

[SuperHercules]

The Golden Bull is the winner in all of this, just like Fauci's pandemic they tried to pin on China

...what? There is no new financial network, they're working on a workaround for VISA at best. It's not something one can just replace.


Like talking to a wall.

[ispy]

the country as a whole will probably roll back into stone age if the sanctions stand, but the rich can continue going to other countries to buy stuff, while the dirt poor (majority of russia) will continue getting drunk.

Every Russian who works for a foreign company now has no way of getting paid.

You're crazy if you think these sanctions are doing nothing.

Enough? Maybe not. Nothing? JFL.

I think the vast majority of the sanctions are just going to be used as bargaining chips during the eventual ceasefire or peace negotiations.

I’m sure you’re aware that the US sources very little of its oil from Russia.

Is that why gas prices nearly doubled and they are begging Venezuela for help?

good. Russia doesn't want them working for foreign companies.

they could always get a BOC account

This. Biden didn't move to stop imports of Russian OIL until Putin already said they would stop selling their oil.

It was like quitting after already being fired.

Kind of crazy how most of the country does not know this.

I’m sure you’re aware that the US sources very little of its oil from Russia.

US may not, but other countries do. Which means when US and other countries stop using Russian oil, there is less oil to go around. Period. Just one country moving away from Russian oil hurts everyone else. Which is why Putin said he was going to stop exporting oil for some rand raising prices for others.

[tnel00]

The war itself, the sanctions, all of it, the people it effects the most are those who have nothing to do with it and the one's who pay the most are those with the least to gain and the most to lose.

Putin has a roof over his head, plenty of food to eat, and lots of cars with full gas tanks and freezing his assets won't effect any of this, I doubt he even checks his bank accounts. Same thing with Joe Biden. He's not worried about having to fill the tank on that presidential limo. His sanctions hit us.

This

Was lol'ing yesterday listening to some dumb bimbo on Fox News saying that not allowing Putin to travel abroad was going to make him feel like he's in a prison and will finally hurt him.
