Hard to deny videos and pictures of destroyed russian equipment. Hard to deny the reality that they have not captured key cities. Impossible to deny how united the world stands against Russia. Something that seems obvious, there's a ma

The point of sanctions is to show the world that economic collapse is worse than war. How many Russians know they can't access their money? How many didn't bother to show up to work because they won't have customers. Knowing
