Sanctions have been in place since 2014. They have not beem effective actaually it made Russia realize it new potentials.
Prior to entering Ukraine Putin had already calculated the risks one of them being the sanctions and he is well prepared.
As long as emerging markets are in Asia and Asian countries dont Saction Russia then they wont have much effect.
Furthermore have you seen the sanctions underwhelming reason being any Severe Sanctions will also hit U.S and European Countries
Antiwar protests in Russia. They will be crashed soon but I do feel for Russians. They do not deserve to have their Iives destroyed. Can you imagine if you are a business man or employee there and you know with weeks your earnings and assets will be worthy shit. The rubble will just crash. The only good thing is that winter is almost over

Agree, I think Russian economy will bleed for more than a decade. US sanctions are just debilitating, especially when they ratchet up progressively with European union. Soon, Putin will be doing everything to have demented Trump elected in hope to ease those back-breaking sanctions. Like Russia, he thinks the US president can act at will. When sanctions are in place, it doesn't matter who is in the White House.
