ECONOMIC SANCTIONS PARADOX:
1. EU countries sanction Russia to hurt its economy
2. The commodities that Russia sells increase in price
3. EU countries buy these commodities at the higher prices
4. Russia's economy strengthens
5. EU economy weakens— Garland Nixon (@GarlandNixon) April 5, 2022
The EU may move to sanction Russian oil and gas next
👀🇪🇺🇷🇺🛢️ European Council President Charles Michel just told parliament that “measures on oil and even gas will also be needed sooner or later"

The ECB has lost all credibility…
"Our job is to maintain price stability"
"We keep prices stable by making sure that inflation remains low, stable, and predictable."
"We are targeting an inflation rate of 2%"https://t.co/RWFZcBosWW pic.twitter.com/Z7sVJvlobM
