Bet.
Hahahaha
Wind can die down.
Sun does not shine at night.
The sanctions have failed you dolt...do you see Russia backing down?
When Putin says “the sanctions aren’t working” it really means “the sanctions ARE working.” Stronk genius, your Putin.
Wait, I thought the sanctions didn’t bother Russia at all?
Sanctions failed and failed so miserably, most of the EU is not only going into economic implosion, firewood collecting has become the new norm. Man, those environ Euroweenies got to be utterly pissed, yeah?
