Russia has to halt their tank production as they cant source the right components anymore.
They were already struggling with military nets production before the 2022 sanctions, just based on the post-Crimea ones; a number of buyers refused to take delivery as jets came without key equipment that Russia could no longer make. It only got worse for them now.
- oxff 5y agoYou would have to provide some argument and evidence that (i) Russia has to stop tank production, and that (ii) this was due to sanctions, and that (iii) this will alter their strategic and tactical goals in Ukraine. The third part is the most important part. Showing that these sanctions somehow have deterred Russia in its military posture. I find the idea ridiculous.
- ido 5y agoIt’s not just about their ambitions but also about their ability. It seems so far that they are barely capable of winning against a much smaller force.

Russia seems hell-bent on going through with this war. Their losses already justify withdrawing, sanctions or not. The calculus for them is clearly not about a net cost-benefit calculation. PerhPs because it is a despotic kleptocracy? So an immediate reaction is not really the goal.
