It should be clear that Hungarian/Chinese or Pakistani newspapers write differently than, for example, the American ones. That it hurts a country cut off from Western technology and trade, yes, but also. No matter what Russian propaganda says. At the latest, when the war is over and tens of thousands of people cannot return to their mothers, wives, siblings, children, etc., a house of cards could collapse. Russia was hit by the sanctions more than Putin wants and above all can admit. And we are not talking about the billionaires who no longer have 10 billion in their accounts, but "only" 6 or 5. We are talking about the average citizens.
Russia has been preparing for this situation for at least a decade. They do everything themselves from Allgäu cheese to Bavarian Weisswurst. They even replaced McDonald's in the same way and make their own cola.
In the short term, there are shortages, for example, of cars. But I am sure the Chinese have a great interest in establishing a foothold there or the Turks. Luxury cars like Porsche are still easily available, imported via third countries, bypassing sanctions.
Russia earns much higher revenues from raw materials than before the sanctions. That means the main goal of draining the war chest has definitely not worked.
The population suffers under the sanctions both in Europe and in Russia, not the governments. The big question is only: how should one alternatively react to Putin's war of aggression? There are only sanctions, military action, or nothing at all. All three options are bad.
Therefore, this war should have been stopped in advance. In my view, that would not have been a problem, but the Americans, especially Biden, wanted the escalation. America benefits enormously from it.
