You have never been able to answer that. Life is still mostly normal for people in Russia. Stuff like not being able to use their cards and having to pay with cash is an inconvenience at best. The entire theory that the sanctions will get people to rebel against the government is flawed, and even if it does happen it'll be a while especially considering the fact that Russia is implementing so many draconian measures to control the people and the information they have access to. Ukraine is putting up a hell of a fight and that resistance is the one hope they're clinging onto, not the west's sanctions. In fact its pretty ridiculous that the west is deliberately avoiding sanctioning Russia's massive energy industry which is the one thing that could cripple their government sooner rather than later.

Not being able to use your cards or get cash is a bit more than an inconvenience. "An inconvenience at best" is wearing a mask in Walmart. Link to post Share on other sites

It burns you to admit the sanctions are working to cripple Russia. Your dumbass wanted America to take the bait and use direct force immediately which would have proved Putin right about NATO and the west.... Which would have also started world War 3. Putin would have then gotten backing from the other nations that hate the west... All out world War. Link to post Share on other sites

This is exactly what Russia wanted, for Ukraine to not join Nato and she is advocating for that not to happen. She then tweets it and says Putin concerns were legitimate. And to cap is off she is also pushing the Russian propaganda that Ukraine is not a democracy, that Putin is innocent and its actually Ukraine that did the horrible things that Putin was accused of.
