For every action they is an opposite reaction, this would only have effect on their diplomatic relationship, both parties get to loose, but I see Poland and co loosing more, the things you use to get cheap from your neighbor would come at high cost getting it else where, Russia would only have to throw their abundant products out into the international markets at affordable cost and still boost its economy. You're not knowledgeable in political economics.

dapadawee:

Hmm mm
When you don't know the history of poland you can't help it but to say rubbish.
But the fact remains that russia is not a world power and they practice oligarchy no opposition makes you think they are what they portray themselves as now hear this no nation of the world can stand alone

Sirlancelort:


They are out of sanctions, unfortunately for them the initial sanctions imposed on the Kremlin are no longer effective, the EU and USA are even filling the heat more than Kremlin.
Mean while has anyone seen Biden lately?,

seunny4lif:

Lol
Did USA said on their official website that they are still buying Russia oil? If not Russia government that exposed it nobody will know.
Japan PM was not also quick to come and said any thing about Gas and Oil deal with Russia.

All those Tankers queuing in Russia for oil and gas are mostly owned by those big companies but registered with small nations flags companies

Igbofam:


The effect is much less in EU because they are not facing sanctions so can replenish baby food or basically anything through imports from all over the world.

On the other hand Russia is facing immense sanctions so cannot readily replenish stock.

The only areas EU are feeling the crunch is when it comes to those items they used to import from Russia. Now they diversify.

Russia is doomed and even Putin knows it. Their economy is expected to shrink by a whopping 15% this year and this would totally wipe out 15yrs of their growth.

EU is facing inflation of between 5% and 8%. But Russians are are having to cope with inflation of 20%.

Even their central bank has massively hiked interest rates to 20%

This is Russias worst economic chaos since the 1990s when their economy tanked by just 7%. This time it will be 15% this 2022 and that trend will continue in 2023.

We can effectively start reciting the requiem for Russia if this continues

Oyindidi:
A very poor analysis! Anyway you try.

Igbofam:


Oga read what i so graciously wrote for you in my last comment and stop trying to shift the goalpost.

The facts do not lie.

Russia is being sent back by 15yrs just this 2022 alone. Your guess is as good as mine regarding what would happen if this trend continues in 2023 and beyond

1stGenAmerican:



I’m not shocked because I already knew that Russia doesn’t have a monopoly on anything you named.
-Gold is not a necessity however Russia is nowhere near the US largest source of gold. Here are the biggest suppliers to the US:
Switzerland ($27.3B), Canada ($3.35B), Singapore ($3.22B), Australia ($2.75B), and Mexico ($2.29B).

-Wheat you said? The US is the world’s fourth largest producer of wheat. If needed, the US will stop exportation .The American people won’t suffer without Russian wheat. Fun fact: Ukraine is Nigeria and Egypt’s biggest source of wheat.

-Russia never had a monopoly on providing fertilizer, especially since the US produces more fertilizer than Russia. The US can stop exportation or import from China or India. The American people won’t suffer.

-There isn’t a dire need to build rockets. The Space program won’t crumble.
Do you really think leaders didn’t plan for loss mitigation before sanctioning Russia?

Igbofam:


Oga you have come here again, it seems you need to consult your map to understand that comment and know where Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are situated and how strategic it is which is why Russian goods MUST pass through their borders to get their goods in to Russia and Belarus. This includes their freight trains.

Well all that goods transit is now shut off.

You are not wise

AirFireEarthH20:


These are small countries that are dependent on others for survival. Russia is self sufficient in energy and food. Do the Maths and see who will suffer at the end.

UpLoyo:


Why is it always the ignorant ones that make the loudest noise? You really need to stop talking. You don't even know the difference between LOSE and LOOSE.

Which Russian university did get your political science degree from again? What a clown.

seunny4lif:

And same in EU?
Ask anyone in EU, what the price of things now?
Do you know how many is baby foods now?

RichMelanin:


Go and check your western owned Google currencies exchange and see if it’s propaganda

BKayy:

LOL countries of combined landmass of less than 500,000 km2 "completely isolating" a country of 17 million Km2.

Lol who was your geography teacher?

Russia is a continent. She is even bigger than the whole Europe. Like almost times two

Ournolly:

Why should Russia pass through those places to get?
Is Russia landlocked?
Russia has access to the sea and can get wherever they want via see.

As advised, you seriously need to consult your map.

The funniest thing is, they only mentioned land. they forget to mention water where 90% of goods are being moved. Who control the waters in those regions

lexy2014:


US gained but Americans are running to Mexico to look for cheap fuel to buy as a result of the sanctions placed on Russia

VirileNelly2420:

Most of dem don't know how large Russia is. I was even shocked d day I learnt Russia is two times bigger dan the whole of USA (50 states combined).

Russia is just too big to b called a country. It's an empire.

gambojimeta:

Nice try.

Why do Nigerians think it's by land mass

Nigeria is bigger than the UK but it's one of the poverty capital of the world. Who big land help

BKayy:

See the outcome of "garbage in, garbage out" that you have conditioned your brain to.
Is China, North Korea, Azerbaijan part of the Sanction?

You still don't understand what Russia aims to gain from the expedition on southern part of Ukraine. With that part under control, Russia will have access to Moldova and Romania.

Azerbaijan recently nearly invaded Armenia because of the border issue but was calmed by no other person but Russia herself.

Finally with China, India, Mali, Iran and other African and Asian/Arab countries by Russian side, Russia have a market of atleast 5 billion people (3/4 of the whole world)

You see my friend, Europe and USA are the minority here.

RichMelanin:


Did you check the trade starting from February
I guess not
Well I don’t use an android phone like you do

Buliwyf:
It's funny some people are shouting about 5 to 8 percent inflation in the EU. But conveniently forgetting that Russia is feeling worse. Even Putin is not as stupid as most of the Russian supporters here.
The food prices hike is mostly as a result of invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Ukraine produces a lot of essential commodities the EU consume. So by declaring war on Ukraine, Russia broke supply lines and need to be punished and are being punished right now.

What people don't understand is that Russia is at war with the EU and US already. It's economic war. Not primitive moronic warfare Putin asslickers were expecting. Their military might is being undermined in Ukraine. And their economic power is being diminished.

Of course the US and EU will feel a little bit of it too. That is the price of war. But gradually they will recover once other nations rise to fill the demand. And they have good economic system in place. Unlike Russia whose economy is tied to fossil fuel.


Do your research



Think about this you Russian bots before yapping in ignorance.

samnaija:


No you are the daft one, you head is so full of geography of world, you calling Asia. You over hyped DStv watching CNN, aljasera middle east, European analyst. Your brain is so superior to we western brainwashed minons.
You are the most advanced human form on nairaland. Clap for your self .
Tell me what is your take on Kaduna bombing in your backyard?
Let me guess it does not concern you. You brain waves only decipher Putin's fart . .
Retard .
