I doubt Russia would want to conscript Ukrainians for obvious reasons, and it’s not like Russia is lacking manpower. Currently, they have no problems attracting people to sing up on contract because military service pays far more than people can earn in most regions.
While sanctions have either failed to achieve the intended effect or in some cases have had the opposite effect on the industrial economy of Russia, its warfighting capacity, its ruling class, and its GDP; they have had negative effects on consumer prices in Russia just as they have in the US and EU.
Sanctions, as always, are a form of economic warfare against the citizenry of both the sanctioned nation and your own. The intention is to create significant instability and resentment among the working class with the goal of fomenting political unrest in the target nation.
Learning a bit of history will help you not make a clown of yourself in public in the future. Go read up on what the state of things was like in Russia in the 90s after the west “helped” introduce all the liberal reforms and privatization. And then go look at how the standard of living has been improving steadily since Putin took over.
Nah, Putin simply understands that the best way to stay in power is by making sure people support his government, something western “leaders” seem to have forgotten.
This is very funny.

I think Biden is too old to throw opponents out of windows
it’s true, he just jails them instead
Laughs in Navalny
I’ve seen this trick before!

Russian’s have been torturing Ukrainian POWs
And Ukrainians have been torturing Russian POWs. This war is real fuckin awful and it would be best if there were some negotiations to end it.
