This might be the first admission in western media that the sanctions are having a blowback effect:
No doubt, Russia is feeling the impact of sanctions, but so is the west. Indeed, one reason for the over-egging of claims that the Russian economy is close to collapse is that western policymakers know their own voters are suffering from the collateral damage: dearer energy, rising food prices and falling living standards.
Yeah exactly, sanctions used to only hurt the countries the west was trying to fuck over. Now they got themselves into a situation where there is serious blowback and people don’t like that.
