I already told you, his monologue is a half hour to 38 minutes. The rest of it is streaming Q&As. But here’s the gist. Russia has ways of getting consumer goods in circuitously, but the price goes up hugely. It is able to sell its oil and gas at above the sanction-imposed price limits to countries that don’t GAGF about the sanctions, such as China and India. High tech components are more difficult, and they need that to fly their high-tech crap at Ukraine and kill people and blow things up. But they manage with a little help from their fellow evil dictators.

I guess that the gist is that the sanctions do work for raising costs to Russia, but are not a silver bullet to destroy their economy immediately.

As I mentioned above, sanctions have taken a huge chunk out of Russia’s main source of revenue (oil and gas).
