    Sanctions have been a blessing for Russia and China. Seems like they just make massive economies more self-sustaining and global south-oriented.

        It absolutely is, that’s why the article is using percentages and not dollar amounts

        Going from $1 to $2 is a 100% increase but you’re still fucking broke afterwards, and the guy whose $1,000 only grew by 1% still made 10 times more money than you lol

        Maybe instead of spending all their money murdering Ukrainians they should be trying to create a country where the leading cause of death for young men isn’t alcoholism
