Best thing is IUndia re-sells their cheaply bought Russian energy to Europe - with a big plus on the price tag of course.



When that became known, first they tried to deny or hide it, but it nevertheless got confirmed soon enough.


For the going of the war and its outcome, I fear the financial and economic sancitons are almost or exactly irrelevant. Which I expected. You cannot sanction a big and strong bully like Russia if you yourself are weaker and depend on him. We need their gas for energy and chemistry more than they need our money, that simple it is. Plus we are a sensible shaky conflict-scared democracy, they are an authoritarian command-dictatorship. The long breath is Putin's, not ours I fear. As long as we do not dramatically and drastically boost our delivery of weapons.



What do people think Putin will do if he is in danger to lose the war? That he will just quit and withdraw, just accept the outcome? Of cpoiurse we must make Russia loose the war - but we must prepoare orusleves to face the frontally and stop them in their starzing blocks if their reaction to a decisive defeat in Ukraine results in them doing something stupid beyond the Ukraine. We need to prepare for the worst.
