    Does anybody seriously believe this is a blow to Russia, if anything the west is helping prevent capital flight from Russia here.

    Reminder that sanctions serve to attack innocent civilians and as a side-effect encourages the victims to build stronger domestic production.

      Reminder a country does not have criminal leaders without some support by the general population. While certainly the leaders are most guilty in these actions, the general population overall is not completely without fault. Economic hardship is not out of the question when you put a poor leader like Putin in power.

      Prior to the war and Russia attacking Ukraine, Russia was at zero risk from Ukraine. Ukraine wasn’t stealing their land, was not damaging their economy and had pretty much zero effect on anyone’s lives in Russia. Nor did Ukraine pose any future threat not were they making or sending terrorists abroad.

    Are these sanctions stronger than the ones USA imposed last year, when the Ruble became stronger after switching to gold standard?

      Given that Russian economy is growing while Europe is in a deep recession, maybe it’s the west that needs to do a special operation to fix its finances.
