The West is rapidly sinking Russia's economy.

The West is trying to destroy Russia's economy. And analysts think it could succeed

Western nations have responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with a wave of sanctions intended to cripple the country's economy.

Putin, because of his vast miscalculation and lack of savvy, is losing the economic war big time. The West, led by President Biden is well on the way to destroying Russia's economy and turning it into a poverty stricken 4th world country.

Putin made a major tactical error with his beyond evil attack of Ukraine. He should have realized that he would also be in an economic war with the West, a war he can't win. No way. He doesn't, despite Trump's love and admiration, have the smarts for it.

LOL. Your "president" is still funding Putin's war against Ukraine.

They are destroying the US economy too. The war is a distraction.

One by one, global companies are cutting their ties to Russia

They do the same to US citizens they don’t like too.

They do the same to US citizens they don’t like too.

This isn't exactly something to be believed. China, India and Iran are anxious to ink deals.

I think China is taking note of this. Might even take a step back with their aspirations.

Or they might decide that now is the time to commit to an alliance with Russia and stare down the US WWIII style.

European authorities are trying to track down the owner of a superyacht nicknamed 'Putin's yacht' by locals​

If you want to find out who owns it, just sink the sombitch and see who starts crying.

These issues over sanctions and petro prices ain't pattycake.
Things are complicated. Not all crude oil is identical. Not all is fungible.

There is a tendency....not just by messagboard chatterati ....but by wide swaths of Amercian citizenry to focus only on the simplest explanations, the simplest answers. That is a human tendecy, not particular to any ideology.

But if one wishes to do deep-dives into the complexties, well, one can.
The internet, google, other search engines, are surely some of the most amazing things developed by humans for humans. You can get answers of varying depth, vetting, and quality quickly.
