Sanctions do not work for the intended consequences . They have made Russia more independent economically . Backfired on the west massively in regard to oil , gas and commodities

@ You are using old information . Russia is totally independent when it comes to weapons technology . Did you see the latest hypersonic missile exhibition ? So Russia imports cars from China . America and Europe are totally consumerist Oil and gas markets are being diverted from west to east . Yes there were losses in the interim period. That is coming to an end as Russia creates new markets east How will Europe cope without Russian cheap energy? Not very well All your other comments are based on hearsay

@ Hypersonic missiles and advanced air defence are not crap . Neither are their fifth generation fighters.stealth submarines If you are going to criticise their weapons be specific . But you can’t be because you know nothing about the subject

@carlbuchan5699 You seriously don’t think Russia would get involved in a conflict with the west while being totally dependent on the west for anything do you ? They are not that stupid . Now trot off and do some homework

@l.h.3586 Be specific

Russia only spending 6% of its GDP on the war . 35% of its military budget . Russian economy has been promoted to fourth biggest in the world and the biggest in Europe . Overtaking both Germany and Japan . With predicted growth by the IMF of nearly 4% over the next year. And no massive debt like western countries You should show more concern about your own country

@ The IMF says America is the biggest or second biggest economy in the world. What is that based on BS too ? The military industrial complex in Russia is owned by the government. Weapons much cheaper . Wars much cheaper It’s been confirmed by international agencies ( the Kiel institute ) that Russia is spending 6% of its GDP on the war Its Military budget is 85 billion dollars annually . 35% of that you can work out for yourself

@ . The world bank also recognises Russia as the fourth biggest economy in the world and the biggest in Europe The IMF also says America is the second biggest in the world. Are they making that up too? Russian Military budget 85 billion dollars this year. 6% of its GDP .

@ It’s not a war economy. It’s not insane if you have too to protect the country. Ukraine is spending 43% of its gdp on the war

@martins3885 Russia has all the resources to be independent on every level . Energy , food to name a few The west has nothing to offer Russia apart from junk food and war
