alt Hacker News> Pointing to Russia as a functioning economy is comical.
idk man, France's economy minister said he would bring "russia on its knees" economically, 3 years later it's still not anywhere close to being a reality, the minister isn't here anymore tho.
Put half of the sanctions on spain and it would fold in a month
That may be less a matter of him being wrong per se than of politicians loving to make grandiose and inflated pronouncements.
