As Expected...
Did we really think that our silly sanctions targeting the Russian Oligarchs would work? Well, the general public laughed, but the WH is so full of itself that its reality testing is now nearly non-existent.
From Zero Hedge Fund: "So much for the "Russia is becoming increasingly isolated" meme that the West would like many to believe. As Russia continues to sign de-dollarization deals and trade agreements with its BRICS allies while pushing ahead with retaliatory actions against the US and Europe, it appears the 'sanctioned' friends of Putin are taking matters into their own hands. Billionaire oligarch Gennady Timchenko, among the first to be hit by travel bans and asset freezes by the US, has decided to tear up his Visa and Mastercard, shifting all his credit cards to China's UnionPay, noting that "in some ways it is more secure than Visa - at least the Americans can't reach it."
The Western meme goes something like this...
“Russia risks becoming a pariah state if it does not behave properly,” U.K. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said on Sky news this week.
However, after various deals with BRICS and Middle East nations, it appears Russia can find plenty of 'friends'.
