Comment on How is Russia not Financially Crippled?

I mean I’m no expert but the US has only had 17 years of peacetime in its 247 ish years of existence and it’s still going. War can often be profitable though I couldn’t tell you if that’s the case here.
I do know, however, that Russia is a huge oil and gas provider and despite the hand wringing that politicians do over human rights they almost always ignore them when it comes to fossil fuels.

I don’t think sanctions really work that well if I’m honest. Cuba has been sanctioned for what 60? 70? years now and while it isn’t exactly a world superpower it’s still here and doing pretty well given the circumstances

Cubans are exceptionally poor.
