Huh, I didn’t know biden had so much control over Peru. I guess I also didn’t know that Peru imported so much oil from Russia, you know - because Venezuela is so much farther away.
Do you live in the US? If so, have you ever spent significant time abroad? The US affects everything. If we have a cold, the world has a flu. The sanctions don’t just affect the US and they apparently don’t affect Russia all that much.
Yes, and outside of a deployment to Spain, no.
I think the difference here is that we are talking about internal logistical problems, and we are a net importer. If we were exporting fertilizer and Peru was a primary consumer of our fertilizer, then I would agree - but I don’t think this is the case.
According to most projections, including the Heritage Foundation’s predictions, the Russian sanctions are hugely impacting their economy. If you have a source that proves me wrong here, feel free to share it so I can be more educated on the subject though
Bullshit. It’s not affecting their economy at near the impact that was intended. It had a major impact at first, but what biden really succeeded at is removing the status of the petro-dollar and weakened our economy in the process. Because he’s a complete buffoon. The long term impact on Russia is going to be minimal at best.
The Heritage Foundation, a bunch of neo-con, elitist shills, crony asshats, who desperately want us to get involved in this war. The sanctions don’t just affect what we do with Russia, they affect global supply chains. And poorer countries that relied on western supply chains are going to be the first to suffer. And they will cut deals with Russia and China eventually to get their food, as an aside.
Europe has to rely on Russian energy, it has no choice because they put themselves in that position. What’s happening is the splitting of the global economy into east and west.
Remember all the predictions about how the sanctions were going to cripple the Russian’s ability to execute this war? Didn’t happen. It was all propaganda.

Soo no source, then?
You didn’t give a source, but sure here’s a source…
The sanctions are having a dramatic impact on the Russian economy. We’re going to have most likely the most severe crisis Russia has had in recent history,”
From the article.

Various sanctions that have yet to fully bite, like export controls on semiconductors and other computer equipment, are expected to hurt the Russian economy only down the line. “Some of the sanctions are not really designed to turn the screws that hard yet,” Smith explains, “but will soon.

You can’t expect Pat to read an entire article. He clearly read the first 2 paragraphs, saw something he liked, and stopped. 3 paragraphs exceeds his attention span.

Actually it is mainly Germany that relies on Russian energy due to the poor leadership of Merkel. Central Europe such as Austria and Belgium to a degree as well. But Europe feels about Ukrainians and we are okay to pay for higher priced energy.
About time Russia to be exposed for their propaganda. Sanctions are going to heart them for the next 10 generations. The average Russian is already experiencing food shortages and insane food rates according to what has been shared from their social media to our media by actual fact checkers. I am not able to find sources but I have seen screenshots from their social media and forums and it is ugly.
Russia cant win this war. They will most likely lose Kaliningrad after the war to Poland. There is separatism prepared in Kaliningrad area and US army is currently training the Polish army. This is not ending anytime soon, unless the Russians dont take down Putin.
I believe we may see Finland attempting to take back teritory as well, but it is too early for that. You have no idea how much everyone hates Russian in Europe at the moment. It is sad US has imbecile as a president. Moscow could have been done in less than a week with a stronger president.
You think these sanctions will hurt russia for the next 200 years? “Generation” usually implies enough time to procreate by today’s standards - which is about 20 years
considering the fact that about 40 % of their population does not have toilet seats and use outside toilets with a hole… Yes.
