Lol.
Glad you're having fun.
I am afraid, that train has left the station. The divorce proceedings are in progress.
If you think we will go back to the way things were even if Putin withdraws his army from Donbas and Crimea tomorrow, you are mistaken.
Your fuhrer is a war criminal, and nothing will change this fact. You guys are done. All civilized world will not want to have anything to do with you.
No more Blancpain watches for you, Volodiya.
What divorce process, what are you talking about? Europe has spent a week considering the possibilities and prospects of abandoning Russian gas, and now it looks like it will be happy to announce its victory, continuing to pay for gas in euros, bypassing its own sanctions. Europe cannot refuse Russian gas right now - this is an immediate economic disaster with the
shutdown of large industrial enterprises. Europe cannot abandon Russian gas in a year or two - too much time and money will be spent on building a new infrastructure adapted for liquefied gas, and free liquefied gas simply does not exist on the market in sufficient volumes, and there is nowhere to take it from. Having mentally abandoned Russian gas, Europe realized the scale of its dependence on it, in general, on the supply of fertilizers, raw materials, natural resources and cheap energy from Russia, and I think it was a very educational experience.
In the meantime, here's a recent article in
The Economist on the effects of economic sanctions on Russia.
If any economy could come close to coping with being cut off from the world, it would be Russia’s.
In short, it looks like the Russians пoxyй about sanctions.
