Armaggedon: US is running out of options. In the present case, they now sanction one country by replacing them with another country in their sanctions list. Imagine running to Venezuela or Iran for oil supply.
Moreover, this rash of sanctions helps no one. It will easily lead to global economic recession and also bring the 'BRICS' together, creating a separate and viable economic sphere of influence for the Chinese. This will hurt the west in the long run. / You are funny! You forgot the most important attribute of US--they are bullies. They can arm-twist at least 90% of the countries in the world.  What is playing out is one bully telling another bully to leave the little guy alone. / |

They have many financial gimmicks in their arsenal to cushion any adverse effects including sending money to their citizens, quantitative easing, etc. You should be more worried about how it will affect Nigerians. With crude oil at $130/barrel, expect scarcity in Nigeria soon since your government has failed to implement local refining of crude oil. / / |

Don't test the resolve of US if and when they decide that they have had enough of Putin's bullshit. Right now they are busy choking financial life out of Putin and his minions. Pres. Biden just banned oil import from Russia.
The Chinese are very unreliable and crafty. They are not emotional babies like Nigerians whose reactions on issues are always very predictable. I feel sorry for Putin if he has any hope on China for assistance.

Abba Kyari should do everything in his power to avoid extradition else he will be doing some hard times in US. On the better side, US prisons are not like Ikoyi prisons.

FavourWrites: Please help me Nairalander! Do I have a medical problem? Why do I forget things a lot?
Here’s the thing, I am someone who forgets things a lot. This may not sound like a big deal to you, but this problem is ruining the relationship I have with people.
There’ll be times when my friends would call telling me to do stuff for them, and the next day when we meet and they ask for the feedback, I’ll be there looking stupid because I didn’t remember them calling me at all. This is a problem because most times they think I faking the fact that I failed to remember.
I’ll be nineteen in a few months but I’m seriously worried for myself. I’m the kind of person who buys about three PEN every single day because I always forget where I dropped the last ones.
Don’t get me wrong, I do well in school, I currently have a 4.8 CGPA. The things I’m taught in school always seem to stick in my head, but every other thing doesn’t.
I have lost a lot of valuable friends because of this. Yes! It’s that bad.
There was a time I had a huge quarrel with a toxic friend, we ended up breaking up our friendship. But when the next semester began, I started wondering why she wasn’t talking to me. I tried approaching her but she ignored me.
I didn’t understand her behavior until the day I was flipping through my diary where I read that I had quarreled with her.
Please, I need help! My mum complains a lot about my behavior! Do I have a medical condition?
This problem is so bad that I had to buy a bracelet that connects my phone to my hand because I have lost count of how many times my phone slipped out of my hands. If not for the sound that my phone makes when it hits the floor, I never would have known that it slipped off my hands.
I can’t write all of the experiences I’ve had, but please I need help! I’m tired of carrying a book Jotter/planner around, and I’m tired of setting an alarm for something small like “TAKE THE CUP BACK TO THE KITCHEN".
HELP ME! / How do you expect people to advise you when you will forget the advice immediately thereafter? / |

yorubarere: The West keep ranting on the media like a bitch. If Russia is nothing, why not join the war? Why hide behind Ukraine?
Bunch of modafuckers hiding behind sanctions to steal private Russian men businesses and properties. Putin will have their time whenever he is done with that comedy of a president, zelensky that sees war as an opportunity to make his country funny.
Russia already grounded OneWeb and stopped the sale of rocket engines to US, let them fly on rooms 
Next is to off that Nord 1 stream tap and let those fuvkers freeze to death. One would think giving the ways they were slamming sanctions, that they depend on Russia for nothing, but opposite was the case.... their lives depends on Putin's country. / Lolz. It is because your brain is underdeveloped. They are remotely strangulating Russia without firing a bullet. But you expect them to go and waste innocent bloods because you wish so. You can send yourself into the war front if you like muscle better than brain. Russian is fighting 19th and 20th Century wars while the West is using 21st Century tactics. Now think of how China shut the whole world down with a vile of coronavirus without firing a single shot. Welcome to 21st Century warfare of finance and biological weapons. It is not by gragra. / |

Foreign Affairs › Re: Ukraine: Putin's Miscalculations Could See Him Strike Harder by InvertedHammer: 8:31pm On Mar 01, 2022 |
/. Unknown to many people who are probably poor historians, USSR used to be a world power. Then it was balkanized and bankrupted by the West in the infamous "voucher privatisation". It took Russia many decades to recover to her current status. History is about to repeat itself again.
With interest rate at all time high and inflation induced by a very weakened currency, Russia will be bankrupt soon. They have the funds but the West has tactfully blocked access to the funds. Intervention in the currency market as done yesterday rarely has any effects and that's why rubble continued a steady decline today. Wait until Russian banks start limiting withdrawals from the banks. I feel sorry for the citizens of Russia. The suffer no go be here. They may win the war but they have already lost the battle.
US dollar still remains the global reserve currency which is why as the war wages on, there is flight from risky assets and US dollar strengthens. As far as global financial market is concerned, US has it in her back pocket. Russia is in a deep mess. It will take about a month for the economic impact of these sanctions to start manifesting.
