- zdragnar 5y agoBrazil, China and other trading partners have not signed onto any or all of the sanctions. The sanctions are still hurting the Russian people, but there haven't been signs yet that it has hurt the government.
- gpm 5y agoI am pretty sure that the government loudly objecting to them, going so far as to call them an act of war, is a sign that they are hurting the government. We're yet too see how much. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/05/defiant-putin-warns-the-west-your-sanctions-are-akin-to-an-act-of-war https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/05/defiant-putin-...
- zdragnar 5y agoPutin fits into the "strong man" stereotype. The mere intent behind the sanctions is sufficient to warrant such a response from him and those under him. That said, it is certainly possible- time will tell either way.
