“ There have been many pro-Kremlin shills here on FR who have been saying that the sanctions against Russia have actually helped Russia and have brought about record profits. Are you one of those guys?”
*************************************************************************

Look, the sanctions “against Russia” have helped no countries except for China and India. And they have dealt a devastating financial blow not only to Russia but also to Western Europe and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the U.S. There are many PATRIOTIC FReepers who oppose the madness of the UKRAINE PROJECT but you feel free to attack them if you want. I forgive you as you know not what you do.

PS - The last sentence above, while true, was thrown in to annoy you because of your insult directed at me. Now off you go to support Nikki Haley or whatever neocon of the day is in favor at the moment.

Oh, I can appreciate someone opposing the “UKRAINE PROJECT,” and if they just stopped there, no harm no foul. But when in the next breath they laud and cheer on Russia they have chosen sides, and the side they have chosen has interests inimical to ours. It’s really pretty simple.

As for your leap that I insulted you, you clearly did not read my comment with any sense of comprehension. I said there are some here on FR that have said the sanctions against Russia not only helped Russia, but produced record profits for Russian concerns; and I asked if you were one of them.

Since you did not answer my question, I can only conclude that (1) you didn’t understand the question; or (2) you are one of those guys and were afraid to answer in the affirmative.

No, western Europe is not dealt a “devastating financial blow”, not even Germany.

And some places like the Netherlands or Spain are only mildly affected
