Russia’s economy is fucked for decades. But it wasn’t because of our sanctions. It’s because Russia is a mafia state, ruled by the few, suffered by the many.
And honestly, I don’t give a shit. If Russians cared, they would have ditched Putin a long time ago already.
But they didn’t. Russians, for some obscure and perverse reason, seem to long for a so-called “strong man”. Just look at their history. They can’t live without it, and it won’t change if you ditch Putin.
They’ll just get another dictatorial moron in his place.
Edit: Europe could and should do more to crush Putin and all of his oligarch cronies personally. All of them love the (freedom of) the West. About time we kick them out. All of the Abramovich’s need to leave. Pronto.
