You must be working for the Internet Research Agency, because no one, literally no one, is so stupid to think the sanctions are hurting us worse than they are hurting the Russians. The rouble is artificially inflated. Russians are literally forming queues for food shortages for basics like sugar the the Krelim has had to bring in price controls for basic food stuffs. The Russian economy is starved of tech and equipment to the point where they are having to ground civilian aircraft in order to scavenge parts for their airforce. The wide spread reporting of Russian soldiers looting white goods demonstrates the scale of hardships facing Russian citizens.
What you are doing is utilising the market affect on oil and gas prices of the war to obfuscate the reality. Yes the war is causing inflation and contributing to cost of living increases in the west. However, the sanctions are having, by an order of magnitude, a far greater effect upon the people of Russia than the people of the west.
Your comments embody the central message of Putin's cyber propaganda on the west, namely to sow dissent and stoke discord in order to breakdown the west's resolve in committing to supporting the free people of Ukraine. He is deploying his troll farm the Internet Research Agency to achieve this and Russia knows that in a war of attrition it cannot defeat the west, but rather falsley believes that our basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press, are our greatest weaknesses and thus aims to break our commitment through the aforementioned strategies that your position on the war and sanctions embody.
For this reason I truly hope you are a Russian troll, because if not then it is truly tragic and pathetic that you have been duped into such a line of thinking so easily.
