It's pretty weird how nobody is talking about the impact the economic war is going to have on the west and particularly Europe. Russia has been preparing for this, it's largely self sufficient for necessities, and it can get anything it needs from India and China. These are just plain facts.

On the other hand, Europe is heavily dependent on Russia for both food and energy as well as a multitude of other commodities. For example, things like chip production will be affected. I have to wonder how western public which is utterly convinced that it's only Russia that will suffer will react as the prices for necessities continue to skyrocket and commodities start disappearing.
