hello @crypto.piotr,
I mentioned some time ago that war was the solution for the US economy, as now their competitor is being taken out of the game.

The sanctions are not intended to hurt Vladimir Putin, the sanctions are intended to economically hurt Russian billionaires who support Vladimir Putin, pulling the plug on SWIFT will put pressure on the Russian economy and cause its population to be forced to put internal pressure on Vladimir Putin

In the globalized world no country can prosper without the support and cooperation of the free world, in that sense Russia will be forced to negotiate a ceasefire with Ukraine. NATO, more united than ever, will increase its power, while the United States achieves what it set out to do, to prevent Europe's total dependence on Russian natural resources.

The Venezuelan state acts in a very similar way to the Russian government, it also thought that the United States was very dependent on our oil and would never take measures against them because of the dependence, but when there are political forces, the welfare of the population is the last thing . In other words, whoever sells the natural resource will always be in a weaker position than whoever buys the natural resource.

In short, Russia lost the war when the European countries were forced to act all together against Russia, because for them it is more important to contain a nuclear war, the energy demands of their countries. From my point of view, the only way out for Russia is to seek a negotiation in which its weakness is not seen and which will eventually allow the sanctions to be reversed.
