Among the prominent players affected by the ban are reigning U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev, who recently reached No. 1 in the ATP rankings and is currently No. 2; men’s No. 8 Andrey Rublev; Aryna Sabalenka, who was a Wimbledon semifinalist in 2021 and is No. 4 in the WTA rankings; Victoria Azarenka, former women’s No. 1 who has won the Australian Open twice; and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the French Open runner-up last year.

They live in Russia and probably support the war. Ban em I say. Smart move!

GO UKRAINE!! Power to the people!

What would be something if the Russian UFC fighters got banned from competing. That would shake up the sport. Dana White I don't think will do that though.

I disagree, sanctions were unprecedented and huge. They will hurt Russia for a very, very long time.

Sanctions were so huge that I disagreed with some, like swift and seizing reserves...those are dangerous precedents.

Now we will see a fractured World Order and dual banking systems.

Not to mention Europe moving away from Russian energy.

Western pain will be far more fleeting and temporary.

Russia is fukked.

I think similar but one piece of evidence against that narrative has me less sure.

Take a look at the USD/RUB exchange rate.

After an initial plunge the Ruble has recovered to pre war levels.

Either financial markets are backing the Russian economy or the Kremlin is buying a boatload of overpriced currency to prop it up this long.

Call it Putin's price hike.

You are discounting China and India. Those nations are with Russia. The West is a joke

My thinking here is much longer term Opti.

Not short term.

Even if the West eases, there is long term, unavoidable damage.

Putin will have to go. Even China will be hesitant to viloate US sanctions.

Long term Russia is in very, very, very big trouble.

Yeah they got sales now, but when all contracts that have been already bought are full, you will see any post invasion oil sold very cheap. China and India will snatch it, but Russia is still in trouble. A fracture will be one of the only options.

Systems are in place.

Not wrong here.

Pretty much what I mean by fracture. When they announced those ridiculous sanctions, I knew Russia would have a new goal for the war, immediately knew.

It's not just about a border skirmish in the west and with Nato, it's about no longer having one country dominate the world order.

[KVB]

Notice how pissed off England is in the media.

Sweden and Finland turning to NATO, increasing NATO's border with Russia by a shit ton.

China walks a fine line, but man they are equipped to do it.

Gonna be a good game.

Long term you are right. The issue with the West is simple. They need stronger leaders. World peace is GREAT but the Western world order isn't the solution long term.
