> Plenty of recent articles clearly show that the sanctions have been an utter failure in practice. None of your links actually say that. What they do say is that sanctions did not have the short term impact that some hoped/predicted. What all of them say is that in the long term Russia is most likely fucked. Your claim that the sanctions have been an utter failure is divorced from logic if we go by the links that you provided.

Certainly you could find one passage in those links you provided that is talking about the utter failure that the sanctions are and share it with us. I did that to show my point but for some reason you don't want to discuss the contents of the articles you provided. Or you could at least show how did you logically go from Russia GDP is predicted to grow to sanctions are utter failure. That was your argument, wasn't it?
