Two massive sanction packages have just dropped. I’ll tell you all about it.
Western sanctions have reshaped global trade, energy markets, and even the ruble’s survival — but not always in the ways policymakers expected. In this deep dive, we’ll separate facts from narratives, exploring how U.S. and EU measures are straining Moscow’s finances, forcing new alliances, and creating ripple effects across Europe.
You’ll see who’s winning, who’s hurting, and why the real consequences may just be beginning. I’ll even talk about what might not happen. Well, we’ll get to that in a month.
Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points.

Some interesting analysis by various people from around the world, especially from the 12:50 mark, where the analyst describes these sanctions as a nothingburger dressed up to look impressive.
Its still a good sign that the Chinese commies and the ruSSki commies are very worried. I also agree with the prof that unless there are secondary sanctions, the ruSSkis will not be affected enough to change their calculus.
These sanctions are toothless. Maybe intentionally.
Taco would never harm his ruskie boyfriend. I think I mentioned this once or twice already.
What passes me off. Not one politician has called these out for what they really are. Another 4 week extension of the previous 2 week extensions that TACO has given to putler.
They are afraid of the taco. He might impose a 1000% tariff on their goods.
I made a typo in my comment. Can you see it? 😂
Passes instead of pisses, yeah. I’m not a nitpicker like Mike. 😁
