I keep hearing conflicting information on this. Really don't know which one is right
This is a slow but sure way to lose the 'war' you started. >

Let’s not put the word “war” in quotes. Russia started an actual war. >

It's a special country suicide operation >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)


Russia's budget revenues from oil and gas plunged in January by 46% compared to the same month last year due to the sanctions on Russian oil exports, which led to a slump in the price of Russia's flagship crude grade.
Russia is considering taxing its oil firms based on the price of Brent - instead of Urals - to limit the fallout on the Russian budget revenues due to the widening discount of Urals to Brent, Russian daily Kommersant reported on Friday, quoting sources.
Russia is looking at ways to reduce the steep discount on Urals and to stabilize its oil revenues.

It will cost a lot more this war to Putin and the Russians won’t accept this much longer, he better start finding better hide outs. >

While I beg for this to be true I really don't know... from the videos I've watched where people are interviewed in Russia a lot of people seem to be positive towards the leadership? I might be wrong and I sure hope so. >

Yeah a lot of people are supportive of the regime, or indifferent, which effectively becomes the same thing >

They're hardcore brainwashed. >

Great! 
Imagine Türkiye and India were good guys this would be even more painful for Russia and the ongoing crimes of genocide would end even sooner. 
Either way, the trends are promising... >

Trukey and India are already buying Russian fossil fuels at huge discounts,so the profits that Russia makes are very low,if any >

Yes, so Türkiye and India are sustaining only very small parts of the ongoing crimes of genocide. Fair. >

i don't think you understand the impact of an embargo
if all countries banned Russian oil imports immediately,the world oil production would fall by 10% ,and prices would quadruple
economies would decline,and milions of people would starve
that would defeat the whole point of the embargo,which is to save lives
on the short run,someone has to buy Russian oil becaus there is simply not enough oil and gas in the world without Russia
on long term,however,increases in Brazilian,Canadian,American,Nigerian,Azeri and Iraqi production will fully compensate Russian exports within a decade >

I think when you say "embargo" you mean to say "price cap." 
Yes, I understand the gist of it. 

that would defeat the whole point of the embargo, which is to save lives

There are other points, right. Rules based order, UN Charter, punishing Putin Khan... 
Clearly the act of aggression is against Ukraine and so saving Ukrainians is a primary concern. No doubt. >


I think when you say "embargo" you mean to say "price cap."

an embargo on Russian oil is currently impossible,but a price cap is possible and is already working
Russian oil is selling with 30-40 $ dollars discounts compared to last year,and Russian oil profits are collapsing as a result >

Yeah. Profits are going down for Muscovy. It is trending well. >

Woah, what? I thought Russia was saying how the sanctions have had a positive impact on their economic growth and things are better than ever? You mean Russia lied? No way. >

I'm strongly opposed to lifting the sanctions even if Russia pulls all forces out of Ukraine and possibly even if putin is toppled or killed. Russia has made a career of invading and screwing up so many countries from Ukraine to Georgia to Chechnya to Syria, hoping for nothing more than to install friendly dictators and committing atrocities everywhere they went.
The only good Russia is a ruined starving Russia. >

If the condition for pulling out is lifting the sanctions then that would be fine by me. Europe is already on its way to ditching Russian gas. So it's not like they will ever get back to pre-war levels with Europe anyway. Better to save lives, the faster they leave the more lives saved. >

I think sanctions need to become worse, I feel like the Russian population should be taught a lesson the hard way and should be starved and impoverished into learning to let go of their stupid ass nationalist bs and leaving their neighbors be.
Might sound harsh, but putin and his army destroyed a country's infrastructure and committed multiple massacres in Ukraine, Russia needs to feel something for that. Close the borders to Russians and then isolate the hell of that country until unrest and a civil war breakout and leave it in ruins. >

Fuck them . Putin is a terrorist now . Cunt should be tried for war crimes
