Re: Sanctions
Sanctions will affect both parties, but the sanctions are also a reminder between businessmen in the west and Russia that something has gone very wrong, against their mutual interest. The only force left in Russia is the business. Putin, a former KGB agent, with a heart and a mindset in the old USSR cannot accept reality. With his inflated ego and demand to run Russia for the rest of history he has managed force the Russian people in a state, where on the other hand they have to be very nationalistic while on the other hand they are so damned fed up with all that old shit. To day Putin (like Hitler) meets with kids from the army, rather than with adults. Putin could have become something else too, he could have worked for democracy within Russia, for integration with the rest of the world, for prosperity in Russia, to become a guy, a bit like Gorbachev or Jeltsin, a man with both a hart and intelligence. But that did not happen, instead he turned out a self centered egoistic fart from the past. One of the deepest physiological problems Putin has is how those old puppets of his, those, the great Russia deliberated from the Nazi, show no great love for being occupied by the Russians shortly after. And that is amazing, never in history will you find a people content and happy being run by some other people, and that is very much the history of the USSR and what Putin dreams about.
Those sanctions are like e-mails from business to business asking business if, perhaps, they could do something about the shit happening. Putin is a prick, and only Russian business is strong enough to get rid of him, eventually.
