I really do not understand how Sanctions on Russia work.

Despite what we are led to believe,
Russia has a third world economy that entirely relies on petroleum.
Easy to put a clinker in their GDP by not allowing drilling or pumping equipment etc.
Also Putins close friends are making huge profits and becoming billionaires.
We can crimp their lifestyles by not allowing these fools monetary transactions internationally.
Pretty simple really.
Lower your average Russian’s standard of living and the gubmint loses support.
