I’m waiting for the “this will just make Russia stronger” crowd to chime in. Because if it really was true that sanctions just make them stronger, they would already have imposed them on themselves voluntarily a long time ago. Why wouldn’t you, if it just makes you stronger?
And they’ll be real sanctions, not Biden sanctions.

For reasons much why Trump tariffs and US reindustrialization have strong domestic US opposition.
It’s much easier to simply send Chinese made & boxed products to stores than operating factories and dealing with labor unions.
Ruzzians have lived on very little of everything for decades.
They are used to hardships.
They will survive as they always have.
Yup. The Russians alternate between claiming that sanctions have no effect on them and denouncing sanctions as a hostile act. Meanwhile, the Russian civilian economy continues to deteriorate and decline, with Russian state finances badly depleted by war costs and sanctions. Putin’s madcap fantasy of a cheap and quick war with Ukraine and an easy territorial expansion is exposed as colossal blunder.
