Let’s see what he’s saying in 6-12 months time shall we.

[davidnavarro]

Putin says sanctions have failed but right after that he recognizes that prices are skyrocketting in Russia!

[benzedrex]

Wait a little bit longer, about 3 months and then see the devastating effect of the sanctions.

[lowellford]

We will see their effect after say twenty years.

[craigdudley]

Yeah ok. Does this guy come from the Moscow Circus?!

[JuckFoeBurden]

Very simple it is always the opposite of what they say.

[thehonorablejiveturkeyspoo]

Oh dear, someone just thumped a booger

[richardnunziata]

Yes....well the oligarchs are sailing smaller yachts but otherwise ok and Putin is still have wine with his steak so I guess he feels the sanctions are not affecting Russians

[larrydrollinger]

"The economic blitzkrieg strategy didn't work", says the person who failed miserably to blitzkrieg Ukraine. The U.S directly wasn't in Europe and they did a better job doing that from across the globe then your little cleanup crew directly placed in it.

Putin says the sanctions are a failure because he is still eating caviar and truffles. When asked about the Russian citizens, Putin simply answered, "Let them have (cake) caviar!"

Poutine aurait besoin d'un p'tit cours sur l'économie. Il dit que tout va bien dans son pays, mais qu'il vit sur ses réserves monétaires. Il dit abaisser les taux d'intérêts pour aider les entreprises à s'endetter davantage. Malgré la fermeture des McDonald's, les 67000 employés sont toujours payés par McDo. Le jours où McDo cessera de verser les salaires par bonté c'est 67000 chômeurs de plus sur la liste de Poutine. Je présure que d'autres entreprises suivent le mouvement de McDo.

Pour votre culture personnelle, les hausses de prix et l'inflation en général avait débuté bien avant le 24 février et elle est due aux effets de COVID. Même la Chine est dans la merde parce qu'elle ferme des villes entières pour tenter de combattre les variants du COVID. D'autres pays occidentaux vivent des situations où l'économie est légèrement ralenti. Moins de production = hausse de prix. Il y a même une récession en vue fin 2022-2023. Tout ça n'a rien à voir avec la guerre! Poutine aime bien mentir à son peuple et son ami la Chine.

Never understood the mindset of a person who will lie to themselves and others when they are hurting. The solution is easy then..."Ok you're fine so let's keep the sanctions mandated for 10 more years....because it failed so no big deal. Done and done."

dictators throughout history have always had their own logic, thats why in the end all dictators defeat themselves
