You know how Obama's "sanctions" fairytale works for Putin propaganda here in Russia? He is happy to use that speech of your stupid president about "torn to pieces" Russian economy as an excuse for his own illiterate internal policy. When people here ask "WTF is going on with ruble?" He says it's because of Obama sanctions - blame him for your troubles. Like it's not because Putin has destroyed Russian economy which now almost fully depends on oil prices only. To sum it up: your useless clown president does a good job for Putin and his brainwashing machine.
I don't like Putin, and as long as Obama gives him head, I don't like him too. Is that clear enough for you now? |
You are missing the point of the sanctions. The sanctions are not meant to destroy the Russian economy or in general harm the average Russian. This is not their purpose but yes to some effect they will have impact on daily Russian life but not a lot.
The purpose of the sanctions is to harm Putin's inner circle and his brosef's. It's meant to make things hard on the Russian Oligarchs whom run and own your country. Ask them how they like the sanctions, I bet you they aren't very happy. This is why Putin has eased up on Ukraine, because yes, they are working for their intended purpose.
