    Russias economy is the effect it had, or do you think Russia today is in as good a state as before the sanctions?

    You seem to expect an overnight collapse of society? The world doesn’t work that easily.

      Russia’s GDP increased by 3.1% this year compared to last. The sanctions you mention did far more than western companies pulling their business from the country.

      I’m not expecting an overnight collapse. I’m expecting quantifiable effects, such as those from the sanctions from other countries and the EU, that are actually measurable after 2 years.

      I guess that makes me an asshole, though.

        GDP is not an indicator of a healthy economy.

        Likewise every action that hurts Russia is beneficial even if you personally can’t see the effects of it.

          I just don’t see how it hurts Russia as a nation. I only see it hurting Russians who have nothing to do with the state’s actions.

            Russians have everything to do with their states actions.

            In fact they have more to do with it than anyone else on the planet as it is their responsibility

              Again, this assumes Russia’s elections are run freely and fairly which we know is not the case.

                Why would it assume that?

                Revolt or die, idc.

                  You’re a little flog sitting in your western first world nation home that mum and dad likely own and you’re judging people on the other side of the world living under a dictatorship.

                  Absolutely no fucking idea.
