For three years, the West has imposed its harshest economic sanctions on Russia. But good luck finding any evidence of them in a Moscow store.
OSCOW, Russia - Three days into his
second term, President Donald Trump threatened to impose "high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States" if Moscow doesn't reach an agreement to end the war in Ukraine "soon."
But since the start of the war in February 2022, the West had placed so many sanctions on Russia that it has surpassed Iran to become the most sanctioned country in the world. But whether they've made a significant difference in the lives of ordinary Russians is hard to know. What is clear is that the sanctions have proven insufficient in hurting the Russian economy enough to force the Kremlin to withdraw its troops
I can only hope that the orc's hail Mary pass is intercepted by the brave Ukrainians and run back for a touchdown!!
Every time Putin selects his targets via politics, Ukraine taxes him in olympic swimming pools of blood.
Using a nuclear weapon in Kursk might look sensible before long.
"UNfortunately"?
haha. Unfortunately, I am the devil's council.

What do you make of Tanya Lukanova’s article in the Free Press today? She asserts the sanctions are having little impact.
Ignore her question.
This is for you, just look at the Ruble and bankruptcy numbers from the moscow times.
