Read an opinion piece by the Guardian's economics editor the other week where he argues sanctions aren't working and are only harming 'the West' whilst, perversely, pushing up oil and gas prices that in turn benefit Putin. He argues that Russia has found ready alternative markets so are coining it in.


Thoughts? Might already have been discussed in here, so apologies if already discussed. Im never entirely convinced by what a lot of Elliot says, so always take his editorial pieces with a pinch of salt.

A lot of the so called pain of sanctions isn't being realised - not even by the regular person on the street. China and India are really easing the situation there. There has been some upheaval in the job market but nothing not manageable so it seems.

I report only what I have heard from my wife's friends back in Russia. My thoughts will be that it's missing sons and husbands and fathers who don't return that will have an effect.
