The sanctions were always going to be leaky because most of the world isn’t onboard with them. The West doesn’t dominate global trade and foreign affairs the way it did 20 or 30 years ago. Two-thirds of the people in the world live in countries that are neutral or Russia-leaning, including China, India, Brazil, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and South Africa.
Sanctions are hurting Russia, and Russian people are feeling the pinch. But they haven’t crippled the country’s economy.
