Loading ...I think Russia has been hurt by the sanctions, I’m sure not as much as the sanctioning countries would have liked. One of Putin’s stands re: the proposed peace deal would be lifting of all sanctions and of course getting his $200 billion back. I was reading something about Belgium thinking that somehow they might end up on the hook for that 200 billion themselves if the EU grabbed it. Putin has already said that if that money is seized he would take action against the Europeans. That’s a dangerous game they’re playing! Do they really need that money so bad?
Cheers
PS One of my biggest disappointments with Trump is his free spending ways. He’s done little to cut the deficit and instead it’s as bad as ever. This may have been our last chance to get the spending under control and the chance has been squandered. JMO
