When sanctions were first announced in response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, analysts and politicians alike predicted that they would cripple Russia’s economy. However, 6 months on, it’s still not entirely clear what impact sanctions have had.

Today Russia economy is growing very well and European economy has been in disarray. The west thought they can crumble Russia but the reverse was the case.

im sure the sanctions will cripple russia's economy eventually but it wont happen in a flash, i think the west thought abit like putin when the war first started, putin thought he could take kyiv straight away which obviously he didnt and the west seemed to think that sanctions would cripple russia straight away which obviously hasn't

The revenue of Russian large and medium-sized enterprises for the sanctions period from March to June 2022 increased in annual terms by 19%, to 77.8 trillion rubles. – calculated the analytical service of the audit and consulting network FinExpertiza. However, excluding the oil and gas sector, the growth amounted to only 10.6% – the "oil industry" provided 59% of the total monetary growth. As a result, the financial performance of the non-commodity business failed to outpace inflation.
Nominal growth in ruble revenue was demonstrated by almost all sectors, with the exception of the hotel and restaurant business and the sphere of culture, sports and entertainment. The cash inflow grew especially noticeably in mining (+43.3% in March-June compared to the same period last year), wholesale and retail trade (+21.3%), construction (+20.3%), agriculture (+ 19.6%), information and communications (+16.1%), manufacturing (+14.4%), education (+14.2%), transportation and storage (+9.4%), healthcare (+8.7%), as well as in the field of administrative activities (+8.6%).
Recently, the Swedish newspaper Nya Dagbladet published a secret US document. The document itself was prepared by the American analytical agency RAND. The document is dated January of this year. In the document, the authors state that if Russia is influenced through Ukraine, then Russia will be forced to start military operations. And then it will be possible to introduce a long-prepared package of sanctions against Russia. The authors of the document write that the imposed package of sanctions will lead the European economy to "inevitable collapse", which will provoke an outflow of about $9 trillion from Europe to the United States. This will solve the problems of the American economy and the banking system.
Most of the document itself is devoted to Germany. The authors of the document point to a growing threat from it after Britain left the European Union, as Germany has become more autonomous and is increasing its influence in the European Area. In cooperation with Russia, Germany and the European Union can become not only an economic but also a political rival of the United States. The only way out, according to analysts, could be the complete destruction of all ties with Russia and the immersion of countries such as Germany and France in a powerful economic crisis. For this, as the Swedish newspaper writes, the document proposes to use "useful idiots in Europe." According to the authors of the document, with the help of such "idiots" it is possible to achieve a complete rupture of relations between Germany and Russia and, first of all, a rupture of relations in the field of energy.
The Slovak thinker and politician, member of the Slovak Parliament from the Slovak National Party, PACE member Sergei Helemendik, in an interview with the Czech and Slovak press in 2014, expressed the opinion: “The EU today is a colony of the United States. This applies not only to sanctions, but literally everything.The goals of US policy in Europe are: centrally through the EU AND EURO CURRENCY to plunder Europe with the help of numerous financial pyramids and frauds, and the main pyramid was and remains the US dollar ; to pit Europe and Russia against each other and cause a new big war that saves the United States, and then write off all its debts FOR WAR, build new Marshall plans, plunge war-torn Europe into a new debt bondage. I want to emphasize this with a thick red line – the United States is openly and purposefully preparing a global war, this is their only alternative for today, and a world war, so that it really is a world war, can only break out in Europe as a clash between Europe and Russia. That is why the attention of thinking people all over the world is riveted to the war in Ukraine, which is conceived as a fuse for the war in Europe.
He said this in 2014, and apparently he was right.
The German authorities are "faithful vassals of the United States", completely ignoring the interests of their own country. So said the former chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and the Left Party, Oscar Lafontaine, in an article published the day before in the Berliner Zeitung.

They only glanced damage sanctions will do to Russia in the future. All Russian oil&gas exploration&mining, petrochemical refining, air travel & transportation, major infrastructure projects, rail and sea transportation and on and on are now fully reliant on either western knowledge or tech to run. Everything in Russia will slowly start to grind and fall apart and they will be able to put bandages on at first but it will start to snowball on them and eventually come to a screeching halt. What happens when you can't get clean water anymore because you don't have any more parts for your i.f. filtration or you can't get heat out anymore because even though you have tons of natural gas you no longer have the ability to maintain fuel pressure for distribution?

When was the Soviet Union not economically excluded? Sanctions are nothing new to Russia as they have technology and resources. Putin and many of their nationalist economists are Soviet vintage. This is not new. They know their old system. Hopefully they will not revert to their Iron Curtain and progressively grab whatever they can covertly and overtly when they can. International accreditation doesn't seem much to them anyway.

A whole lot to do about not very much going on there for the entire 8 minutes. Putin controls the country to the extent needed for control of the deceit he wishes to deploy looks like to me. — Pretending the sanctions effects aren't real certainly doesn't change the reality however. Over time it will be increasingly more difficult for the Russian economy to function. Shortages layoffs and inflation will increase from the isolation and cause great pain for many eventually.

American scientists are worried that Russia may hinder the operation of nuclear reactors in the US by stopping the supplies of uranium. If those fears come true, the US will face a major electricity crisis.

Hopefully not, Russia needs to be thoroughly cut down to size. It is no longer the allied power that helped bring peace to the world. It is a menace and needs to have its power removed once and for all.

The Russian central bank is expected to cut interest rates by a further 50 basis points or 0.5% this week to 7.5% as inflation continues to slow.

How can you keep talking about the ruble as if it's an actual currency, it's not anymore. An actual currency can be traded freely, the ruble can't. It's so funny that you say the ruble is strong-ish, its value is simply fake, as it's engineered by the Russian government with laws intended to increase demand for the ruble and decrease the ability of ruble-holders to convert it to any other currency. E.g: companies are now required by law to sell most of the foreign currency they earn and convert it into rubles.
You are simply spreading misinformation by saying that the ruble is strong-ish. That -ish addition doesn't make your portraying of the facts any less incorrect, it's just hypocritical, as it makes it evident that you know you are not being accurate.

Of course it will , like the west is having to do , Russia will be doing likewise, things will be different and it’s always going to be the ordinary people , the backbone of civilisation that are going to suffer worst , but hopefully this will highlight what’s wrong with the structure of humanity and it’ll bring about change in the way we think in how we need to move forward from this , wishful thinking probably, but enough is enough 🤷♂️
