dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Not to say that sanctions have zero effect, but when your country is large enough and people have compelling reasons to trade with you, and also you are capable of having at least some manufacturing capacity, you can mitigate them.

Honestly, I'd argue that sanctions have had a positive effect on Russia because they finally forced domestic industry to start being developed. Russia is now producing stuff like domestic planes like MC-21 which would've never happened if it could just keep importing western jets. The whole rust belt in Russia is now revitalizing largely due to sanctions.
