Smart tactic if it cripples some smaller countries. I predict the sanctions end before Christmas. At least from the EU

Stupid tactic. Russia is the “small country” here. They will lose any economic war. The Russian economy is the size of Italy with about 50% of their income from oil and gas. Cutting economic ties just gives the EU less reason to oppose sanctions. Putin has painted himself into a corner and is out of options.
