The Nazis invaded Russia in 1941, killed one out of seven Russian adults, and even though Russia was ruled by Josef Stalin (from current day Georgia) , who was pretty good at killing Russians himself, the Russians still defeated the Nazis and captured Berlin in 1945.

Considering that Russians have gone through this experience, then the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the Chechen civil war and near-bankruptcy and wholesale robbery of their economy and state assets by foreign and domestic oligarchs before Putin came to power, do you really think that Western sanctions are going to bother them?

I don’t think so.

If anything, they are likely to rally behind Putin, even if they quietly disagree with his Ukraine policy.

Sanctions never cause a society to break up; they always make the people rally tighter behind the current leadership. It has been true in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea and now Russia.

Western policymakers are so dumb that they have turned to Venezuela and Iran, countries sanctioned by the West, to buy oil to make up for the loss of Russian oil!

Have you heard of anything so stupid?

The west just never learns…

Nice write up,

Russians will surely feel the sanctions but in the long run they will adjust. All this baseless sanctions on Russia is just a ploy by the west to cause some sort of civil unrest in Russia but that isnt happening at the moment. I just believe this week will be the deciding moment.

Will kiev give in

Will Russians revolt

Will the comedian surrender

Will will will........ Everything that will happen in the future will be known this week. I'm very sure of this.

Nice write up,

we know.

Exactly what I was saying the other day. Even smaller countries have not only survived sanctions but are still managing to thrive with it, how much more Russia with Allies almost everywhere even at the US's door step.

What suffers the most are the currencies, after some months or year the shock becomes normalized.

But.... Ssshhhhh! Don't say it out loud.

The West arrogance knows no bound. They will suffer more than Russia in any permutation they can think of. The days of robbing Paul to pay Peter are coming to an end. Countries are getting wiser now.

Russia is a top energy supplier

Means you can't sanction their energy source, two

Russia is in Europe, close to china, India

Russia and Ukraine produce most of the agriculture products


The western only power is dollars

Even leader of Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin was a Georgian, non-Russian. 15 nations make up of SU not only Russia.

No nation have faced this type of sanctions

Even seasoned economists are yet to come to term as to the impact long-term

There is no way Russia will come out of this stronger

we already know that, Kiev fell easily to the Germans during WWII. most of the fighting in the eastern front took place in Russian soil, and Russians made up the largest population in the Soviet army then.

six years before WWII Russia was plagued with a deadly famine which claimed the lives of more than 8million people.

They haven't still recovered fully from the famine when the Germans invaded, and yet they fought and defeated the mighty Germans under intense hunger, sweat, bitter tears and red blood.

That experience is 10times worst than the current NATO sanctions, the Russians are a very tough and stubborn people and will never lie down to any amount of pressure, they are ready to pay the price of war at any sacrificial cost.

Sanctions my black ass…. Russia is too big, they’ll eventually survive and thrive

You mean the famine deliberately caused that killed majorly Ukrainians

If Germany wanted to just take Russia in 1939 and forget other Europe, there will be no Russia today

Energy prices is going high because of the sancetion, with time, other alternative to Russian oil will surface

But nothing can replace the energy market leaving Russia

China alone cannot buy what Europe is buying.

And no county can survive with money

Russia is on a long thing for a very long ride

Nor only Russians defended defended Moscow. All Soviet army did and Ukrainians made up of 35% of the army. Kiev was part of SU. Soviet army couldn't defend it. Goal was to defend Moscow . So, grandparents and parents of present Ukrainians said sacrificed their lives to defend Moscow.

Where on Earth do you get your misinformation from?

You said Russia is close to China and India. Russia is 4,983 kilometers from India. Do you consider that close?

You said Western Power is only in dollars. Did you forget about the military power, etc.?

You said Russia and Ukraine produce the most agricultural products when in fact neither are even in the top 5 producers or exporters.
