When the massive sanctions hit, the West predicted absolute ruin for Russia. They weren't just wrong — they completely misunderstood Russia's economic resilience. Meanwhile, look at the US economy. Washington is currently upside down. The country owes far more than it actually takes in. It’s like earning $100,000 a... show more

Sanctions were meant to punish Russia. Instead, they punished the West and actually encouraged Russian production. When Western companies pulled out and stopped shipping their goods, Russia didn't collapse. They just built their own factories. They hired their own people. They created their own products. By cutting Russia off, the West didn't break their economy — they just made it more self-sufficient.

George Galloway says the West “lost its way” while Putin restored Russia to glory from the ruins of the 1990s. “And that’s why they hate Putin in the newsrooms of the West.” “When Putin took over, Russia was lying drunk on the floor and people were picking its pocket. He picked it up, dusted it down and marched the people forward.” “The prosperity in Moscow is phenomenal despite 20 rounds of crippling economic sanctions. They didn’t cripple Russia — they crippled us.” Full interview: Sanchez Effect

Moscow residents were asked about the new sanctions announced by President Trump and whether they pose a threat to Russia. According to them, Russia is the richest country in the world - so rich, they say, people should be born as pensioners already. They also claim that Russia produces everything on its own, so the sanctions won’t affect the country at all. Well, then, more sanctions on Russia!

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: ‘US🇺🇸 elites need to understand the world has changed…the most sanctioned country in the world is Russia, yet Russia became the largest economy in Europe.’ What is the point of sanctioning Russian oil? Even if it actually works, energy prices rise in the US and slows economic growth. Sanctions pressure hasn’t worked for over a decade, Europe has been devastated by the effects of its own sanctions, and now the US wants to try the same pointless self-sanctioning strategy instead of coming to a reasonable compromise and taking into account Russia’s national security concerns for the first time.

BOMBSHELL: A Democratic Congressman exposes the absolute insanity of the administration's strategy. By lifting sanctions, they are literally handing Russia an extra $150 MILLION a day, while funding Iran—a country the US is currently at war with. Total incompetence!

It feels like sanctions were designed for the Russia of the 1990s. The expectation was panic, devastation and total economic collapse — but that Russia no longer exists. Instead, the sanctions accelerated something Vladimir Putin had been working toward for years: economic sovereignty. The West tried to make Russia weaker and easier to control — it may have done the exact opposite. Watch the FULL conversation with Scott Ritter here:

2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in WWII and Russia is celebrating it just as it has been doing every year since 1945. Meanwhile, the West can barely remember the date, tears down monuments to its own soldiers, and lectures us about being uncivilized.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Politico that despite the US not taking any existing sanctions off Russia, it's not the time for the US to impose new ones because if the US "come in and crush them with more sanctions, we probably lose our ability to talk to them about the ceasefire. And then who's talking to them? Because they don't talk to anybody else in Europe. They don't talk to anybody else in the world who is on our side of this thing and views it the way we do." Secretary Rubio added that President Trump "wants to give it every opportunity to have influence over the Russian Federation towards a ceasefire. And that's the option he's trying to preserve, because it's the option of peace." In fact, new US sanctions are a way of talking to Russia. Russia does not understand and care for dialogue and diplomacy. The only thing Russia understands is strength. When Russia commits horrible war crimes in Ukraine and is not punished for it, Russia considers its counterpart weak and doubles its efforts. This results not just in more deaths and destruction for Ukraine but in further collapse of the international order system and global order. I agree that the United States and the US President have the opportunities and resources to talk to Russia like no one else can. Sanctions against Russia and more weapons for Ukraine will be talking to Russia in a strong language Russia will understand.

1/RUSSIA 2050: the latest blueprint for Russia's future, and its plans for the West, was released last year at the Dugin/Malofeev "Forum of the Future." It's a 62-page tome that's gone unnoticed in the West. I dug in, to see how it compares to prior work like Project Russia.

If it weren't for the West, Russia and Ukraine would have resolved all the conflicts long ago. Ukraine here is just a proxy, a lapdog for the West, and they want Ukrainians to die for them so they can hurt Russia. Watch FULL here:

WELKER: The US eased some sanctions on Russia to help lower oil prices. Is this effectively rewarding Russia for bad behavior? BOLTON: I think the Russians drank a lot of vodka in the Kremlin when they heard that news. This is an absolute gift to the Russians.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs on Going Underground: To end the Ukraine proxy war, the US🇺🇸 MUST stop its campaign to weaken and divide Russia🇷🇺 ‘So far, no American president has had either the bravery or the decency to tell the truth, which is that from the time of the end of the Soviet Union in December 1991 until now, the US has been on a campaign to weaken Russia, to divide Russia, to surround Russia, to put US military all around Russia, to break apart Russia if possible, to sanction Russia to its knees, whatever it is. That’s been the US campaign. So if this war is going to stop, the US has to stop its campaign against Russia. That’s the story.’

Finland's Defense Minister, Hakkanen, is confident that with a little more effort, he will defeat Russia with the help of Ukrainians and sanctions. 'Russia is showing no willingness for peace. They are continuing the war, even though their economy has already started to suffer seriously. I believe that now is a crucial moment - to continue supporting Ukraine even more actively and to show Putin that the West will not back down. It is also necessary to tighten sanctions against Russia and its economy, as they are already experiencing difficulties. If we introduce even more stringent sanctions, it will send a clear signal: the war needs to end now.' - SK

Trump says Russia and Ukraine will "soon" sign a peace deal. Well, the US has achieved its goals, completely separating Europe from Russia and turning Europe into its colony. They didn't need this war in Ukraine; they needed Ukraine. But greed won out, and the US entered this war with Russia, declaring its intention to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. But something went wrong, and in the face of a possible nuclear war, the US abruptly decided to distance itself from it. And now, Trump is proposing his "peace plan" to maintain control over at least part of Ukraine. Putin agrees with Trump's plan, but at the same time claims that the goals of Russia's special operation in Ukraine will certainly be achieved. However, Ukraine and Europe have a different opinion. And I don't know what Trump's optimism is based on.

The French ambassador to Poland is waiting for a Maidan in Russia So, the ambassador admitted it. He honestly admitted that Kyiv is launching drone attacks on Russia to make life unbearable for Russians. According to him, Crimea is successfully being isolated from the rest of Russia by Kyiv, through drone strikes. Russians should understand that the situation is a deadlock and Kyiv is now launching attacks all over Russia. This is what the West and Kyiv are trying to instill in us. That is, they want to provoke public discontent. The goal of Ukraine and the West is something like a palace coup, removing Putin from power and thus ensuring victory for Kyiv (and the West, of course). The ambassador is confident in their victory over Russia and stated that "the question is not if Ukraine will win, but when it will win". That is, the enemy is counting on us in order to destroy us.
