Germany continues, Ukrainians angry: "Hypocritical"

During sanctions against Iraq vital medicines were classified as dual-use goods. Cleaning detergents were not permitted so Iraqis had to use petrol to clean even floors in hotels.

But the problem here is if Germany does not sell these goods someone else will and if Germany does not generate enough money, then Ukraine will sink like a rock in a pool since it only survives from EU aid.

A ban on the import and export of weapons. What weapons would Russia import? What a load of crap.

But my favourite as its widely used by the west, in particular the US, is restricting Russia's access to a number of technologies.

What are these? Where are the EU’s oil fields where they would have more advanced technology than Russia????? One can smell the high potency of the bullshit here.

Its like Jake Sullivan warning China if it helps Russia in during a disconnect from SWIFT China will pay the price by Washington shutting off sale of vital technology to China. What technology is that? Pure bullshit? The US had to access G5 patents from China to construct infrastructure in the US, but the US equipment there is so old that G5 is interfering with aircraft.
China is well advanced into G6. Then we see the F35; greatest piece of crap ever constructed LOL.

SJ: The question you should ask yourself is what will happen Russia’s feeble economy if Mr Putin chooses to invade Ukraine. Currently, Russia’s economy can be compared to that of some of the countries of South America. In short, an attack on Ukraine will be devastating to Russia’s economy and way of life. What has Ukraine ever done to Russia to warrant an invasion.

The Economist uses a system they call the Big Mac Index to evaluate the true value of a country’s currency and the size of its economy. The Economist obtains the cost of a big Mac in a country then uses that data to do their calculations.
The Economist has found that the true value of the Russian Ruble is 23 to the US$ and not 76 to the US$. According to the Economist the Russian economy is three times larger than reported making it bigger than the German economy, and when taking other hidden assets into account, which all countries use to calculate the size of their economy, Russia is near or on the same footing as Japan.
The problem with high-ranking western officials, and in particular British and American, is they live in 1992 claiming Russia has a one-dimensional economy and hold onto that John McCain mantra that Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. Not in 2022.
The west does not understand the size of the Russian economy, its sophistication or complexity. Russia is self-sufficient in food, it has energy, raw materials and advanced technology and industries. The French have asked the Russians for assistance with their nuclear power stations as its well known that the Russians lead the world in this technology.
Joseph Borrell, EU Foreign Affairs Minister, recently said that “the Russian economy is sanction proof”.
What would happen to Russia’s economy you ask? Answer is nothing at all.
