The West's sanctions on Russia since February 2022 have been one of the greatest self-owns in human history.

I just love how the whole thing was premised on chauvinism where they took it for granted that backwards Russians couldn't figure out how to operate these businesses without the enlightened west. This is what happens when people start getting high on their own supply.

Straight out of the Nazi Germany playbook. Sometimes I wonder whether the ruling class of the west genuinely thinks of the non-west as untermensch.

It's not just the ruling class, unfortunately.

It is fortunate for China, Russia, etc that the West underestimates them and has no interest to learn about them.
