<p dir="auto">Pretty much. Nearly three months since Biden triumphantly declared that "ruble has been turned into rubble" and Russian ruble has fully returned to its pre-sanctions level and has even become the best performing currency of the year. Just yesterday Russian central bank cut its interest rate to pre-sanctions level, their revenue from fossil fuels exports has significantly increased due to higher prices etc.<br />
It's becoming increasingly clear that Western powers have miscalculated. They've overestimated the impact that sanctions would have on Russia's economy and underestimated the impact it would have on theirs.<br />
Europe will suffer the most from it. They will not be able to find alternate supplier who will sell them oil at a cheap price like Russia did and it's not like they are an irreplacable customer. Russia is replacing them with China and India as we speak.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, I am just saying he's more firewalled from economic pressure than one might hope. But there's an argument yes to use every tool in the toolbox.</p>

Stop.</p>

<p dir="auto">They had not integrated as much into the world economy.<br />
Also – Putin probably doesn't care if oligarchs have their speedboats and mansions seized. This is a war about correcting historical wrongs, for him.</p>

<p dir="auto">Why is that? Is it due to Putin stockpiling cash to sanction-proof the country<br />
Stop.</p>
