Have sanctions against Russia boomeranged?

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine now in its fifth month, Western leaders are beginning to recognize, if not openly acknowledge, that their unprecedented sanctions against Moscow are hurting their own countries’ economies without significantly crimping the Kremlin’s war machine. As the recent back-to-back Group of Seven and NATO summits underscored, Western leaders are straining to find new ways to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Can't stop sending BORROWED dollars to Ukraine. How else can the big guy get his 10%? Yeah just pad the national debt and send $$$ to the most corrupt country in Europe...UKRAINE!

Sanctions are like the parent who, when about to spank a child with an open hand, says:

“this’ll hurt me more than it hurts you!”

Sanctions FAILED. Enemies India and China got oil for lower price, funding Russia’s war all while burying us with cheap products and cheap labor. Both know they can undermine us with impunity.

[Destroyer Sailor]

No. While Russia has managed to work around the oil and gas restrictions. Their economy is greatly hurt by restrictions on parts and services they no longer can get.

“Have sanctions against Russia boomeranged?”

Enough of this BS!!! The plan all along was to cripple our own economies, to teach Putin a lesson. Or something like that...

Thank you for posting this, entropy12.

Half of Russia’s GDP comes from oil and Biden has done everything possible to drive up the cost of oil. Where’s the boomerang - he threw it right over the plate.

The sanctions will indeed become a heavy weight on Russians and will also weaken Russia's warfighting ability between now and the end of the year. The value of human life in Russia is also on the decline again.

Duh.

The Hill website/publication is no different from Polutico, TASS, Pravda (Russian for Truth), CNBC, CNN, FauxNews and the BBC.

Propaganda, disinformatsiya, controlled opposition, trial balloons and talking points.

If any (D)PartyDoubt shows up or is showcased in these publications/corporations, it means that they have been given permission to question certain aspects of the Party.

Who ya gonna believe ?! Us or your Lying Eyes ?!

Biden has essentially been sanctioning the US by crushing our own domestic energy production - empowering Russia and our other adversaries.

[cranked]

Might want to hit some Russian sites, yo, cause they not hurting like you and others think they are. And definitely not like the West, EU and the US are hurting from them sanctions. Bet.

What a load of nonsense!
The Russian Rubble, oil and gas prices, fertiliser prises etc are all doing better than ever, even as inflation explodes in America and standards of living crumble in America.
Dementia Joe's sanctions have been the biggest failure ever.

YUP.

[Arcadian Empire]

End all of the boomeranging suicide sanctions immediately.

Make deals to ensure the free flow of fuel, fertilizer, and food.

YES.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Anyone who thinks Sleepy Joe and his handlers care about Ukraine is deluded.

Trump cared about Ukraine, and he ALSO cared about stopping the deals the political class had in that nation. He got impeached over his attempt to clean up corruption.

Russia’s concerns and Ukraine’s security could have been addressed by Trump. Instead we now have a kakistocracy with a doddering figurehead.

[iontheball]

Another stellar example of a royal Biden screwup.
