Quartz: Economic sanctions against Moscow could provoke a military conflict

8

Russian special operation in Ukraine led to the imposition of large-scale economic sanctions on Moscow. According to the analytical resource Quartz, the sanctions pressure on Russia has become unprecedented and has no analogues in modern history.

The first financial sanctions were introduced in 1935 against Mussolini's fascist regime as punishment for aggression against Ethiopia. Italian exports were restricted and Rome's access to hard currency was cut off. Similar economic sanctions were once imposed against Venezuela and Iran, but they practically did not affect the neighboring regions.



At the same time, the current financial sanctions against Moscow are more ambitious: the Central Bank's gold and foreign exchange reserves have been frozen, and since Russian exports were carried out mainly in dollars, this was a serious blow to the Russian economy.

In addition, Russia has blocked access to international borrowings and dealt a serious blow to individuals and legal entities. At the same time, the Middle East began to suffer from a shortage of wheat, and the world as a whole from high energy prices.

Such devastating sanctions have become possible thanks to the modern digital world and the confluence of a number of global factors unfavorable for the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, according to experts, the sanctions may lead to political and military confrontation.

All this is very risky. We are bringing sanctions to the global level. This can develop into a world war, and not only Russians and Ukrainians will die in such a war

- notes Quartz.

    “And today, tomorrow, not everyone can watch. Rather, not only everyone can watch, few can do it ”

    It looks like the EU still can't now.

    That is, the death of Russians and Ukrainians is provided for by the plan, but "not only ..." is no longer

    With all the ambiguity of how everything will end, one thing is clear - we are doing everything that we must do, and time will tell, xy from xy.

    The economic crisis has overwhelmed the United States and Europe because of the shortsightedness of their rulers. Because of their incompetence. And a strange desire to take possession of the wealth of the Russian Federation, instead of normalizing relations. The primitive thinking of senile Wishlist does not allow you to really look at life. And that's why they kindled a fire in Ukraine. That is why they command Europe to freeze, to starve, and so on and so forth. But the most interesting thing is that it seems like a developed, cultural Europe is happy to submit to these barbaric desires.

    Well, look, Mr. West, at yourself! You are a tight bunch on the European part of the Eurasian continent, you have practically filled the entire space with cities and infrastructure, you depend on the supply of energy carriers, "product carriers" from the rest of the world, to a greater extent from Russia, given the logistics, and you raised your "tail" on us :) )) Truly, if God wants to punish, then he deprives the mind!

    Here I have a neighbor who lives on the landing, he will drive anyone into a coffin for a thousand rubles. And then almost 400 billion. dollars were withdrawn. For such money, any state can be destroyed from the face of the earth ....
