ватному скоту пизда https://www.wearethemighty.com/news/rus https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opini Russia's elite are nervous about new US sanctions “It is true that the Russians have been freaking out over this for more than a month now,” said Daniel Fried, who was formerly the chief sanctions coordinator at the U.S. State Department. Andrei Piontkovsky, a Russian political analyst now based in Washington, D.C., echoes that assessment. “The expectations are very gloomy” in Moscow, he said, “because for the first time, it will bring personal pain to those closest to Putin.” The new measures, expected to be rolled out beginning Jan. 29, stem from a bill passed overwhelmingly by Congress last summer and signed reluctantly into law by President Donald Trump in August. Known as the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, the law firstly provides for “secondary sanctions” that broaden the restrictions against people or companies doing business with Russians hit earlier. The earlier measures were imposed by Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama not only for Russia’s Crimea annexation in 2014 but also for Moscow’s alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, its military campaign in Syria, and other things. [...] Piontkovsky, a longtime critic of the Kremlin, predicted that the U.S. move to target more individuals could help undermine the broad support that Putin has enjoyed for years. “It means he is losing his meaning for the elites, his function was to protect them, and their assets in Russia and the West, to ensure their security. And now, on the contrary, he is becoming toxic,” he said. The question now, according to Oliker, who directs the CSIS’s Russia and Eurasia Program, is whether the new sanctions will, in fact, affect Kremlin policies. For example, with the conflict in eastern Ukraine grinding into its fourth year, dragging on Russia’s economy and losing popularity among Russians, there’s good reason for Russia to pull back on its support for separatist fighters. However, it would be virtually impossible for Putin to pull back if it appeared he was giving in to the pressures from U.S. sanctions, she said. Depending on who or what is targeted, the problem is that the new measures could reinforce the perception — encouraged by the Kremlin — that Washington only wants to damage Russia, Oliker said. “In Russia, the pervasive narrative is that all the sanctions are merely to punish Russia — [that] they’re punitive, it’s not a matter of attaining actual policy goals,” she said. Many think “it’s just those nasty Americans trying to get us.” Питуну конкретно сдавливают его крысиную шею, натравливая на него свою же илитку, которых конкретно и внатуре злит, что путинские многоходовки бьют по их состоянию. Можно только представить себе, как страшно путину, ведь олигархи - это не безвольный пидораший скот, который можно забить дубинками и посадить на бутылки. Это илита, которая представляет реальную угрозу власти и даже жизни для питуна. Вопрос в том, что как питун будет выкупать расположение илиты к себе, возмещая убытки от санкций? Я думаю, что будут тупо очередные поборы для населения, чтобы состричь с ватного скота деньги на откуп злой илите под санкциями. К тому же, скорее всего, серьезно урежут и без того урезанную социалку, здравоохранение и образование (хотя не понятно, что там еще урезать). В любом случае, руснявым придется еще сильнее затягивать пояса, ведь Питуну нужно очень-ооочень много денег и жизней, чтобы играть в крутого геополитика и шатать мир. |
