Seems to be much Russian propaganda on this site.
What sanctions?
They could have stopped Putin without financial sanctions, by merely announcing that the immediate membership of Ukraine into NATO would begin IF Putin invaded, demonstrating to Putin that he would be the cause of what he claims he was trying to prevent. He would then have known he would be starting a full Russia Vs NATO war.
Well, he may actually have that yet, after the EU has already weakened itself with its stupid sanctions. Instead of “staying strong” they just made themselves weaker.
Spring time for Putin and Russia
Winter for Deutschland and France
To say sanctions have backfired presupposes what they say can be taken at face value in the first place.
Actions have promoted trade with China, Iran and India.
Politicians: I’ll take door number three Monte
Depends on their ultimate goal. If that is to destroy Western civilization, to kill and starve off 95% of the population through economic and agricultural productivity collapse, “small wars,” in order to replace it with the “Great Reset” totalitarian global government, then the sanctions make excellent sense. So does the Ukrainian war and our involvement in it.
It’s ‘’ruble’’.
