Russia is awash in cash and commodities and after 80 years of western economic warfare on it is largely immune to embargoes and sanctions. They make EVERYTHING themselves. We are pathetically dependent on the Middle East and China for our survival. Russia can turn the gas taps off and sink the EU any time she wants and the rise in gas prices from her other customers will more than cover the loss. The ruble is stronger now than before the sanctions too-that should tell you something. This economic nuclear option the west is engaged through psychopathic mental midgets like Nuland and Blinken is a ridiculous pipe dream that’s going to blow up in our faces in autumn. Even the UK and EU are admitting it.
Some posters apparently prefer the David vs. Goliath scenario, so they’re lapping up everything the MSM tells them, lol.
I suspect you are mistaken. Where are the Russian digital items? You do not see them. They rely on others for their high tech chips.
Lots of countries can be self sufficient at the level of 1900 technology. It gets harder at the 1950 level, much harder at the 1980 level, and very difficult at the 2000 level.
Russian tech seems stuck about 1980-1990.
This conflict will leave Russia in command of all the mainchoke points of the global food system and Breadline-Joe Biden and the other deep-staters want to impost economic sanctions and deny Russia access to Western financial products that Russia does not need.....
Did you ever try to put katsup or barBQ sauce on a financial service and EAT it?? That is beyond stupid....
