Really, all the western sanctions really did was force western companies out of Russia and the Russians kept all of the knowledge, facilities and employees and freed themselves from western corporate dominance. And for those imports from the United States in Europe they just replaced with ones from China and other countries. Just look at all the wester corporations that were forced to leave the Russian:
The Russians have won, they dethroned US hegemony….all eyes on the upcoming Brics Summit (56 countries have now applied for admission)….
Yeah you proved it’s great for Russia to have sanctions, to devastate its people and economy, lose vast amounts of its armaments, ships, planes. Not.
China got the greatest consumer companies and stores for Russia? I think not.
What do we say when companies leave our own cities? Only democrats say, good riddance.
