  1. GNP level same as South Korea, almost one tenth of China, one third of Japan. Population 140 million, just somewhat larger than that of Japan with emensely large area and long national boader to control. Pride as a permanent member of Security Council, and… memory of past USSR. Russia seems to become like big North Korea.

  2. shell, as they worked in russia, they still work, and BP. and payments are accepted by cards. just someone wants to shout loudly, wait until everyone runs away, and skim cream

  3. Sanctions are eurodetroit

  4. biden idiot.uber,burger king running in Russia

  5. Biden is a genius to do this. And if–now isolated Russia–wants to try some 'payback' Biden can bomb their country back to the 1300s. Trump and Putin were great buddies.

  6. NOPE SOMETHING DONT ADD UP WITH THE FAKE NEWS. CONGRATS

  7. please refer sanctions as a "specail economics operations" or they might jail you for 15 years

  8. Putin was warned many times about economic fallout.

  9. Oh yes, they look very perturbed.
    The youngest student in Russia knows more about GEOGRAPHY and GNP than the average college grad here in the USA.
    And they are laughing at how stupid we are.

  10. and yet you dont mention putin has china and india and the eu economy is in free fall

  11. Banks don't stop tanks, they make tanks run out of gas.

  12. The longer the war go on is twenty billions a day will bring Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί upon its knees period.????

  13. The only way is sanctions for the long term destruction of the economy of Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί period.???

  14. The children are suffering lots of the children need a hospital and pellitive care they are very sick and they have to run and hide leave every thing behind what's this world coming to aus

  15. It's not necessarily true their economy is collapsing just because American businesses are leaving Russia is used to being isolated in the state owning everything Russia gas under sanctions is still 43 cents a liter an are there grocery stores are still cheaper than in America. This is propaganda

  16. And the sad part is that many Russian citizens believe Putin, and that this all due to the Ukraine moving more "West" minded and the rest of the world going against Russia πŸ™„ … as if the ENTIRE world would suddenly (and randomly) choose to go against Russia. Please! Wake up Russia citizens, your leader is leading you to destruction!!!

  17. The only countries with any moral right to impose sanctions on Russia are countries like Switzerland and similar who have not invaded another country for let's say a century or at least since WW2. So, certainly not USA, UK or NATO countries that are now embarrassing themselves with their hysterical reactions to an invasion. Which, on top of everything, they heavily contributed to. ❗❗

  18. Hey Putin, they are not sanctions against Russia, they are Special Economic Operations πŸ‘

  22. So Let us understand πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
    Russia exports Gas and petrol but they run out of petrol for their cars and tanks
    Mate whatever they pay you to talk nonsense doesn’t help your credibility

  23. There is Diamond Cartel including De Beers. At one time it was said that Russia has numerous vaults piled with diamonds and if Russia so decided to release all of them on the open market–the price of diamonds would plummet. Diamonds are advertised as the rarest gem on Earth. TRUTH is they are the most abundant as you can see in any jewelry store–diamonds outnumber all the other gems combined. Carbon is the 2nd most abundant element on Earth.

  24. Russia heading for free fall will soon be bankrupt and money worthless

  25. Russian oil for Ukrainian blood

  26. We should wage war against Russia until Putin is handed over to the International Criminal Court to be procecuted for war crimes.

  27. The person that said, "banks don't stop tanks," is an utter moron. You can't replace ammo and damaged tanks, feed/pay your soldiers, etc., without money.
