My country (Japan) is in the same boat. Russia is obviously very close to us and was a huge exporter for: parts that keeps our auto industry going, seafood, and natural gas. Not only did we follow along in sanctions because our masters told us to, we did it right after shutting down almost all our nuclear power plants. Meaning our only domestic sources of power are…old coal plants.

The only person really losing out in that exchange is us, Russia didn’t need us as much as needed them.
