They hurt all of Russia's trading partners and forced oligarchs to keep their money in Russia. It is helping them far more in terms of boosting the costs they get for their natural resources which is one of the major things the US sought to prevent. The overall pivot to Asia by all of Washington's rivals is very apparent.

Sanctions only partially work when you're able to enforce them and starve out a population that is small enough to be isolated, but ultimately it forces them to form new relationships with one another that were made impossible by imperialism. Russia had ten years to prepare for sanctions and they have turned lemons into lemonade. What the sanctions have really damaged is European industrial capacity to compete with America. They are even talking about trying to shunt to them the burden of funding the NATO military adventurism.

Mindlessly cheering on besieging a foreign nation after we couped their neighbor to install nazis and started a civil war, it is just stupid and sadistic. It isn't helping anyone in the west other than military contractors and financiers. You have lost grip of reality. Racism is basically a mental version of having brain lesions, like being a sociopath.

I'm sorry but I still don't understand after mentally swapping it.

That's so convenient. Now that you're found the ultimate font of truth and justice, journalism aimed at Americans with a fifth grade reading level and grasp of critical thinking to match, you never have to engage with "counterfactuals" coming from your own sources again! You can just say one of your catch phrases!

Your statement is not intelligible. Has anyone ever been far even as decided to even want to look more like?

Again I am not translating these so every time you reply it just reads to me as "I am so stupid I think everyone who disagrees with me is Russian". Meanwhile the Russians no longer give a fuck what people like us think at all. Because of these choices to mindlessly swallow propaganda and be debased by lies.

"Hey uh the major financial newspapers in the west admitted they are not winning the war and the Russian economy is getting stronger, as is China, maybe we should stop mindlessly guiding our beliefs with jingoism?"

"RUSSIAN! RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA! RUSSIAN BOT!"

Like could there be any greater admission of what a thoughtless moron you are than this?

You are too blinded by propaganda to use reason. It's deeply pathetic.

Didn't read the book did you dum dum?
