I read that Putins O&G profits alone are up over 40% YTD. The ruble is stronger today than this time last year and Europe is about to freeze death.
I’m no fan of Putin but to anyone that can dispense with the emotion and just look at the facts can see that all the sanctions that the West put in place has not had the effects they anticipated. The West has effectively sanctioned themselves. Instead of making Russia suffer for their special military action in Ukraine they have decreased the food, oil, natural gas, etc available to Europe and significantly increased the cost of those necessities.
And no one could predict that. Lol Sanctions have never worked and only hurt the working class but that was well known before this war started
But all of the American patriots supported this in the name of "fee dumb" despite causing a recession here and global chaos and a dismantling of western civilization
