Pres. Biden announces first tranche of sanctions on Russia

[Cthulhu]

The Russians:

My cousin is half Ukrainian and says that Ukrainians consider Russians dirty and mixed raced mongols.

As if Ukrainians are any better, have they seen themselves in the mirror lately?

Tough sanctions will push Russia more towards china. There is nothing that china cannot produce, so yeah a big advantage for china.

China gets an exclusive energy supplier and a captive market.

Baring a crash on oil prices, Russian economy will be fine.

They are however, the rightful heir of rus kingdom.

If Biden really wanted to destroy the Russian economy, he should go browbeat the Saudis into massively increase oil production and being oil below $40 per barrel.

The more insecure you make Russia the more likely the invasion becomes. Just my opinion.

Sanctions aren’t as effective as people hype it up to be. You can circumvent sanctions easily using third parties. Iran has been excellent at sourcing sanctioned technology using third parties. It’s impossible to track technology products final destination. It’s an inherent weakness of sanctions.

Since those technologies are ‘officially’ banned, the IP is also null and avoid and won’t be enforced so domestic companies can reverse engineer to make your own domestic equivalent.

West banned oil and gas extraction equipment technology to Russia in 2014 and Russia simply made their own technology and became self-sufficient. These Western companies lost the Russian market and now have to deal with a another competitor in the global market.

Russian companies were banned from raising financing from Western financial markets, Russian companies switched to raising financing from Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen financial markets.

Russia is backed by the world largest industrial producer, world biggest comsumer of oil and gas. I dont know how others can sanction Russia.

West has not much leverage against Russia. On the other hand, Europe is captive of Russian gas.

The US also has the full support of Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan for crushing export control restrictions. The same ones that neutered Huawei and made them a global afterthought.

The Russian tech, military, and space sector will get steamrolled if these are implemented. And Russia will never be able to truly compete with the US if those remain in place.

It’s definitely not the same. This means Russia gets entirely cut off from the semiconductors and tech it needs to advance.

That means your tech and military sectors fall further behind.

You dont need high end semi conductors to build Military tech. All advanced Military semiconductors can be fabricated on 100nm chip fabricators. It is not as if you are building a iPhone so it will have more effect on their commercial activities rather than defense.

Practically all semiconductor technology requires US hardware and software along the development chain.

The US has the world by the balls when it comes to semiconductor tech. There’s too few major players and the ones that matter are US allies.
