The sanctions against Russia have proven to be the most significant Western miscalculation in history. This is stated in the article American Thinker (AT).
The sanctions did not bring the Russian economy to its knees, as many predicted.
Moreover, as the AT points out, Russia gained more influence in Africa, Asia and South America during this time.
At the same time, the sanctions, according to statistics, turned out to be an increase in inflation and a scarcity of energy resources for the West. Against this background, the Russian economy will grow faster than the German or British economy.
In addition, AT added that Russia is also in good standing in the military field. Production of defense products, especially cannons and ammunition for it, began. At the same time, the West is running out of ammo due to Ukraine’s support.
