Comments by "" (@Green__one) on "Have Sanctions Actually Helped Putin?" video.

The real problem with sanctioning a regime like this is it the people it hurts are not the people who are making the decisions, and because it's not actually a democracy, and people being hurt have no voice towards the people who are making the decisions. Do you really think the Kremlin is short of anything right now? Do you think they are having trouble feeding themselves? Not a chance, it's the common people that are hurt, but they have no say, and those that do don't care

@BuiltSimilarG what they target and what they hit are two different things, with the exception of a couple of yachts seized, the sanctions on the wealthy in Russia have Zero effect. They can get everything they need at home, and through intermediaries, they don't need to get anything directly from the West. The other thing that people fail to understand, is that the rich in Russia are that way because of Putin, he has power over them, not the other way around.
