Brussels ‘Playing Into Kyiv’s Hands’ by Extending Anti-Russian Sanctions
Russian media is only crying and crying about sanctions, about pain Russians have to endure and so on. It is really so touching that my nerves are just about to blow. That what is written by Russian media is absolutely counterproductive. If we know that media is forming public opinion than it should be media who would lift up willingness to fight not by crying tries to demoralise everyone. Reading this article a person would get impression that Russia is dying and is begging the world, whoever to help, to catch the tears. What the fuck is wrong with you EDITORS, don’t you see how stupid and bizarre is such behaviour.
Russian media should be full of action, pressing domestic population to demand from government and Putin retaliations. Every extension of sanctions should bring new set of Russian counter sanctions. These sanctions on a first place should be oriented only on products that are imported from EU, USA and Japan, but they are offered elsewhere as well so no need to import them from EU. Here I do not think about some silly ban on imports that would cause as the most 1 billion US$ per year.
There are products that would kill EU if they are stopped to be exported to Russia. I am emphasising again that ban should not hurt domestic industry but has to be a stimulator for increased domestic production. There is one industry that can be such potent factor in changing EU to that what would suit Russia the most.
RUSSIA NEEDS TO INTRODUCE TOTAL BAN ON ALL IMPORTS AND SALE OF EU, USA AND JAPAN AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS.
That ban would shake EU as it is the biggest single industry in EU that generates incredible amounts of money and of course tax revenue. Russia should ban all personal, commercial and special vehicles from listed countries. That would create extremely positive industrial climate in Russian automotive industry which is suffering right now. Beside that 2.5 million cars imported in Russia annually is a very large pile of money. In my opinion EU is exporting to Russia about 1.5 – 1.7 million personal cars on top of that there are commercial vehicles such as vans, trucks, buses and other special vehicles. If Russia has to import cars because domestic industry is weak than it needs financial injection, modernisation in every aspect. That can be easily achieved by hiring the top western car designers, car quality managers, marketing experts and so on. Just look at Skoda what they did, from rust bucket on 4 wheels 25 years ago all the way up to the most modern, beautiful and qualitative cars. That can be achieved in Russia as well, the only thing is that Monet Talks. More you pay the better staff you can hire.
That is one set of sanctions which would shake EU to the core, Next should be a ban on sale and imports of EU, US and Japan air industry as well as train products. There would be again several billions saved from imports and redirected into domestic avio and train industry. You can bet your last penny that EU would squeak as a pig and beg Russia to cancel sanctions. Russia would need then to keep them for same amount of time as lasted EU sanctions against Russia. That would teach these stupid and arrogant EU politicians to behave and to listen EU people not to imbeciles across Atlantic.
