Russia surpassed Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Myanmar to become the most sanctioned nation, according to a report by Bloomberg. The news agency in a report outlined that 2,778 new sanctions designations made against Russia by the US and its western allies made it the most sanctioned nation ever.
Russia faces 5,530 sanctions according to a report by Bloomberg which cited Castellum.ai, a global sanctions-tracking database. Iran follows Russia with 3,616 sanctions accumulated in the past decade.
Russia faced more than half of those sanctions over one week after Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine.
Peter Piatetsky, while speaking to Bloomberg, highlighted that this is a financial nuclear war as sanctions have taken Russia from being a participant in the global economy to being a financial Pariah. The official, who served US president Obama and Trump, also founded Castellum.ai.
“Russia went from being part of the global economy to the single largest target of global sanctions and a financial pariah in less than two weeks,” Piatetsky was quoted as saying by news agency Bloomberg.
The sanctions are also a way, according to the report, to prevent NATO and US soldiers from directly fighting Russian forces for a non-NATO ally. Russia sounded warning over the sanctions of the Russian entities like Sberbank and state financial institutions as well as the oligarchs. “It is akin to a declaration of war,” Putin said earlier this weekend while responding to queries regarding sanctions by the western nations as well as the US.
Sanctions levelled against Russia are aimed more at the oligarchs than towards state entities. At least 2,427 individuals have been sanctioned by the US and the west compared to 343 entities i.e. Russian governmental agencies and companies. Switzerland has the most number of sanctions against Russia - 568, followed by the European Union (518) and France (512). The US has imposed 243 sanctions.

Russia also warned that in response to sanctions it will cut off natural gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

See the big boys! When will Nigeria get sanction or sanction countries??

Nothing dey happen
Russians are a tough bunch

Russia is facing the consquences of its decision

U.S. and Russia are two world powers. In the event of a nuclear war, if one of them strikes first, what do you think will happen to the other? In Cold War logic, you either launch first or convince the enemy that you can strike back even if you're dead.

The USSR had the perfect weapon to strike back in case the U.S. strikes first, and this weapon survives till today, although it is shrouded in secrecy. The weapon is called Perimeter, but some called it Mertvaya Ruka, Dead Hand.

The Dead Hand exists to guarantee an automatic Soviet response to an American nuclear strike. With it, even if the US crippled the USSR with a surprise attack, the Soviets could still hit back. It wouldn't matter if the US blew up the Kremlin, took out the defense ministry, cut off the communications network, and killed Soviet General. The weapon is designed so that ground-based sensors would detect that a devastating blow had been struck and a counterattack would be launched.

The system came online in 1985, following some of the most dangerous years of the Cold War. Perimeter was designed to lie partially dormant until switched on by a high official in a crisis. Then it would begin scanning for a series of seismic, radiation, and air pressure sensors for signs of nuclear explosions. When it does, and before launching any retaliatory strike, the system had to check off four if/then propositions.

If turned on, then it would try to determine that a nuclear weapon had hit Soviet soil. If that had happened, then the system would check to see if any communication links to the war room of the Soviet General Staff remained. If they did, and if a period of 15 minutes to an hour passed without further indications of attack, the machine would assume officials were still living who could order the counterattack and shut down. But if the line to the General Staff went dead, then Perimeter would infer that apocalypse had arrived.

It would immediately transfer launch authority to whoever was manning the system at that moment deep inside a protected bunker—bypassing layers and layers of normal command authority. At that point, the ability to destroy the world would fall to whoever was on duty at the time. And if that person decided to press the button ... If/then. If/then. If/then. If/then.

When initiated, the counterattack would be controlled by so-called command missiles. Hidden in hardened silos that are designed to withstand the massive blast and electromagnetic pulses of a nuclear explosion, these missiles would launch first and then send coded orders to whatever Soviet weapons had survived the first strike. Following this, the machines will have taken over the war. Soaring over the radioactive ruins of the motherland, and with all ground communications destroyed, the command missiles would lead the destruction of the US.

The US learned and built their own versions of these technologies, called the Emergency Rocket Communications System. It also developed seismic and radiation sensors to monitor for nuclear tests or explosions the world over. But the US never left all the decision-making powers to machines. It feared accidents and the one mistake that could end it all.

Instead, airborne American crews with the capacity and authority to launch retaliatory strikes were kept aloft throughout the Cold War. Their mission was similar to Perimeter's, but the system relied more on people and less on machines.
