Thunder Shock! The two-year conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States has imposed sanctions on Russia for several years, however, have you noticed a peculiar phenomenon? Why is Russia thriving instead of suffering from sanctions? It turns out that there are four reasons why the United States is wasting its efforts on sanctions against Russia.
The current United States is no longer in its former glory, it has lost the support of many allies, and the situation can be described as embattled. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has put the United States in a situation of isolation and helplessness, and their position on the Russia-Ukraine issue is becoming more and more precarious. At the same time, Russia's international image is gradually being recognized, so if the US sanctions against Russia are not supported by other countries, the effect will be greatly reduced, which is the first reason for the weakening of the effect of sanctions.
Secondly, the alliance between Russia and the United States remains strong, and the two sides have deep cooperation in terms of resources, etc. The U.S. sanctions against Russia are tantamount to sanctioning its own allies, putting the U.S. in an extremely embarrassing position. After all, it is difficult for the United States to act openly, even without regard to the interests of its allies, because this will damage its image in the world and accelerate the process of collapse of American hegemony.
In addition to external factors, the next two points are closely related to internal factors in Russia. First of all, Russia has abundant resource reserves, including natural gas, oil and other energy sources, which are sufficient to support its self-sufficiency, and can continue to conduct external transactions to maintain the continuous development of the economy. Secondly, Russia has invested most of the funds it has received in national defense construction, increased its military budget, promoted the rapid growth of the domestic military industry, solved a series of problems such as employment, and improved people's living standards, thereby stimulating domestic demand, and Russia's economic development is not plagued by stagnation.
Relatively speaking, what hole cards does the United States have? Not only have sanctions been upgraded, but there are more than 500 of them, which is simply ridiculous. Such an act would not only waste the energy of the United States, but would also pose no real threat to Russia. What is even more alarming is that the United States is imminent, and if it does not focus on domestic issues, but continues to do useless work, Biden's re-election prospects will face greater danger.
Russia will never give in, and the tricks of the United States are not destined to succeed. Whether it is internal or external, the outcome of the US-Russia dispute has long been predestined. Let's wait and see where Russia will go in this game, bringing more variables to the world situation. The thunder is deafening, and the situation is gradually becoming clear!
