One thing must be made clear regardless of political beliefs: the sanctions are not meant to incite the poor Russian citizen to revolt against Putin, but rather to put the political leadership in Russia before a choice: Should we continue to invest the billions from oil and gas exports into weapons and ammunition, or save the economy from collapse? Ultimately, it is about driving the costs of the war so high that the expected loot no longer really pays off. And that is what the sanctions do. It is not as if the sanctions simply fizzle out; the Russian state takes countermeasures that help at first, but it cannot do so endlessly while a war is being waged in parallel, which has already consumed much more material than originally planned.

You are forgetting one important point. The infrastructure must also be expanded. That means if more people now install photovoltaic systems, it must be ensured that they can also feed electricity into the grid and not have to reduce their feed-in amounts because the lines cannot "handle" it.

That may be true, but it is also correct that after the collapse of the Soviet Union the Russians had no significant income from industry. Raw materials, raw materials, raw materials - that is the safe bet for the Russians. Currently, record after record of income is being reported. The state treasury is bursting.
And what do we have on the "assets" side?
I find it quite difficult to understand why someone shoots themselves in the foot to prevent another from running.

Now that is the price of freedom. One can have a different opinion on that, but at the moment only two parties with the corresponding policy would represent this, and with one of them I am not even sure whether they would really not impose sanctions or are only against arms deliveries and training. Whether you want to vote for them next time - that is a personal decision of conscience (fortunately still, in our country). I only point out that they are under observation by the Verfassungsschutz...

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.

Cola by leaving out the syrup and only selling water – tasty, period. Stalinist shortage economy, plain and simple. Otherwise, China certainly won't build anything in Russia, only sell things. Which money ordinary Russians are supposed to buy these with remains unclear – the raw material billions have nothing to do with this, at least.
