Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Russia could have a right to go to war with NATO.

    It’s not about your investment. The reality is that the war doesn’t have any negative impact on Russia at the moment. And if the oil war will continue to progress the way it goes right now, the Russian economy will only get better.

    We need to think about other measures if we want to help Ukraine, because sanctions don’t do shit.

      I disagree with your assessments - Russia is experiencing negative impact on a national level (they just grew NATO!) and on the personal level. Sanctions could be working better but are still effective, nonviolent methods to effect change. Add other measures to them, sure, but don’t take them away as some sanctions (including older legislation like the Magnitsky act) target the exact people being dicks.
