I'm really curious about this -- 3 years into the Russo-Ukraine war, what sort of sanctions has the US not levied against Russia yet?
The Russian economy is still going sufficiently strong thanks to a shift into a war-time economy, plus all the underground smuggling of goods from co-conspirators, plus China & India still buying gob tons of oil from Russia,
PLUS the fxxking EU buying records amounts of LNG from Russia.
If the US really wants to dole out some serious economic punishment against Russia, it should start slapping sanctions on all the countries that are still buying O&G products from Russia, as well as those that are smuggling good into Russia as well.
