Isnt the same said about the sanctions already in place since years?

It was predicted that Russia already should have financially collapsed, instead their state fiances have improved. It was said their food imports would make them vulnerable, now their food prpductions has grown and solidified. It was said their oil imports are nice prey for sanctions, they meanwhile have signed new deals.
Its Russia we talk of, not some small banana republic in Latin America. There's still some life in that old dog.
