———-
Sanctions have never prevented war. Think Japan , what happened when we sanctioned them? Dec 7th,…Punitive sanctions cause war. As long as the Ukie war cheerleaders keep crying out for war, war, war, there will be no Peace.

Do keep in mind Russia is totally self sufficient, they have what the West needs.

When do people wake up and realize EVERYTHING vegetable head Joe supports, mandates or instates is designed to cripple America. Keep it up war cheerleaders, backing Joe’s Ukie war is backing a very dark horse…reality is raising its head. America ( and the West) dives deeper into unpayable debt, ( just look up the debt to GDP ratios), while Vlad keeps raking in the cash. Hint: they have no intentions of ever paying that debt, the consequences will cripple the West. By design? Or just shear stupidity?

So why is the West so intent on committing suicide?

Q2: Are the sanctions weakening Moscow’s ability to fund its war effort?

A2: While the sanctions froze most of Russia’s overseas assets, Russia continues to receive revenues from its energy exports. Oil and gas revenues accounted for 47 percent of Russian federal revenues from January to May of this year, even though Russian oil production fell in April. Oil and gas revenues, however, increased by 80 percent. Russia is still earning roughly $1 billion per day in export revenues from oil and gas, about half of which flows directly into Moscow’s coffers. For comparison, Russian fiscal data suggests that Moscow spent $325 million per day on military expenditures in April, the latest data available.
