What does Eurasia has ? Go and ask Iranians the effect of us and EU sanctions
even the European union is about markets ,its a huge population and good for trade with open borders with mutual benefits. Iran gained advancement in technology and medical sciences because of sanctions. There university are top with empirical evidence to show for it .|They have their own refineries ,they have their own engineers, they have their own vessels. No single input from any outsiders expect iranians themselves.

Putin and Xi once discussed one of their key themes in bilaterals and BRICS meetings: the need to keep increasing the share of the yuan and ruble in mutual settlements – bypassing the US dollar – and opening new stock market avenues for Russian and Chinese investors.

its outdated information ,this was 2014 ,2017 , it currently has 1.17 trillion naira economy and it lowers its defence budget.so it does not attract,
of course the sanctions affected, but it took time to navigate and organise ,they will make more money without sanction and will still create alternatives with sanctions and make money .they are both losing .it is not a one way thing.

That one trillion dollar is in Putins account.


Russians are suffering and economy is in decline. Go to better forums and meet Russians. Nothing is happening in Russia as we speak. High level corruption with nothing for the populace.

The aWest has already successfully crippled Russias economy. With Nord going down again, it will only get worse. Investment gone down the drain.
There is no country in the world with a huge population that has a pefect and well fed population .that is the capitalist system they adopted .they have cheap housing and a good healthcare system and a lot of incentives from government .

I don't know why you are going back and forth..
So if you produce your own food won't you sell out to the big league?

The sanctions are what causes currency devaluation (among other things, but the sanctions have a huge role). In Russia the ruble has devalued to about half of what it was worth 6–7 years ago against most or all major currencies. Every Russian inside Russia inevitable uses the ruble and the vast majority get their pay in rubles.

When their currency devalues to half of what it was, everything they purchase from foreign nations (all imports) cost twice as much suddenly, not even taking inflation of the original foreign price of the import into account. Besides that, as soon as they leave their borders (like on a vacation to Thailand) their money is suddenly worth half as much.

Middle class and poor Russians inevitably rely on imports for a lot of things, and some of them also travel. (Samsung appliances, German cars, Apple or Korean smartphones, Chinese computer parts, and countless other things). They also like to go vacation to Thailand, Europe, etc. sometimes.

When the price of imports go up, often domestic manufacturers follow suit, because since imports are no longer competitive, they can raise the price too — just because they can.

So Putin is butchering middle class and poor Russians, but to distract from that he keeps them amused with stories of national greatness and international escapades.
they have their own phone company like
Yota (Russian: Йота) is a Russian mobile broadband company and smartphone manufacturer. Yota is a trademark of Skartel LLC. On 9 May 2012, Yota's WiMAX was replaced by its LTE network.

They have their own uber called yandex taxi,they have alternatives to everything

Even Russia know that their economy will be hit so hard if they are yanked off the SWIFT. When they stop trading in Pounds and Dollars. They cant ignore such a threat to their economy. SPFS is no match to SWIFT.
Even the west knows that its a dangerous game to use swift as a political tool ,so its not one sided .it will fade away once its used to bargain.

In 1954, the Soviet Union transferred Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR from the Russian SFSR. The transfer to Ukraine was made by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. The year 1954 happened to mark the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav, which was signed in 1654 by representatives of the Ukrainian Cossack Hetmanate and Tsar Alexis of Russia.0

The intelligence of Putin is not natural I swear. A war with Russia is just a stupid war... That's one country that has never been colonized or conquered before. Besides there was a referendum in Crimea and the people decided to follow Russia. All these western media are just trying to twist history. Putin is not a man that can be threatened or blackmailed. He's light years above his peers!
Crimea belonged to Russia before and it was a gift to the Ukrainians

No one is talking about most powerful..
The sanctions imposed so far? — Of course, it might survive. The sanctions do not try to destroy Russia’s economy. They limit its growth. So, while other economies grow through trade, investment, technology transfer, etc, Russia’s economy will miss on some trade, much of foreign investment, a good deal of technology transfer, and so on. While in the 1960s, Russia (via the USSR) controlled a huge fraction of world industrial production and money flows (40% if I am not mistaken), it now controls around 2% (which is comparable to its population as a fraction of the world's population). This drastic change is largely due to fast economic growth in China and India, as well as to the loss of Russia's influence in Eastern Europe and ex-USSR republics. In the next 10-20 years, Russia won't be able to significantly exceed the 2% mark, and may even lose ground..

That's what sanction does reduce you bit by bit..
where is the money coming from ?they have the chinese alternative and that is what America wants,it does not want partnership between Europe and Russia

Eurasian Union
Enlargement of the Eurasian Economic Union
Similar in concept to the European Union, the Eurasian Union is an economic union established in 2015 including Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and observer members Moldova, Uzbekistan, and Cuba. It is headquartered in Moscow, Russia and Minsk, Belarus. The union promotes economic integration among members and is theoretically open to enlargement to include any country in Europe or Asia.

This might have an effect on Russia to be sincere..
To my knowledge there isn't really any precedent since 1945 for a great power annexing another country to both gain land and intimidate another superpower...
Right now there's a spectrum for what what could happen..

On the one end Russia could invade and something could go horrifically wrong and we end up in a Europe wide NATO - Russia war. That would be disastrous to say the least.

In the middle of the spectrum is full sanctions and Russia becomes and economic pariah state. This however looks unlikely as only Britain and the US seem to see eye to eye in arguing for this outcome..
France and Germany seem a little bit less enthusiastic about this approach..
Let's see how it goes..
They all depend on Russian gas ,or they will freeze ,Lugansk donesk are Russian speaking areas of ukraine
