Obama Sanctions Take Hold

[rightwinger]

Now we know Republicans consider any action short of invasion to be "weak" but the tough Obama sanctions against Russia are having an impact

The Russian ruble s collapse shows the power of U.S. sanctions - The Week

The impact of the sanctions, though, has been cumulative and significant. Investors are concerned that they can't make money by investing in Russia, and are also worried that Putin's government might start taking steps to lock up their funds within the Russian Federation. As a result, even before the Bloomberg report on Tuesday, Russia was expected to lose between $100 and $120 billion in capital this year purely due to investors fleeing the country.

Remember all the threads about how Putin owns Obama? How strong and manly Putin is compared to a weak Obama?

Obama just quietly smiled as he garnered the forces of the western economies against Putin. Now Putin is realizing that he is no longer in the Soviet Union and must depend on capitalist economies to survive

Obama is showing the power of restraint and the utility of economic warfare vs military warfare

Damn those interlacing capitalist pigz, is what Putin is now saying...

Wait a sec you Obama Whorshipers! This is more likely due to Tumbling Oil Prices and a Strengthening Dollar than anything else.

Russia Central Banks Scrambles To Halt Plunging Ruble Spends Over 2 Billion In Last Three Days As Inflation Soars Zero Hedge

Recently, not a day passes without the Russian Ruble hitting new record lows against the US Dollar due to a combination of both capital outflows from Russia, tumbling prices of crude - Moscow's most important export - which deteriorates Russia trade and current account position, coupled with the most acute USD strengthening in history in the past few months over fears of a tightening Fed.

Your right and I'm LMAO at all the lefties who think those sanctions will do anything.

All the lefties give credit to Barry and his sanctions. The downturn on the ruble couldn't possibly be for any other reason than those sanctions. Its laughable the way they just know anything he does is just the damned greatest and works. LOL

Thank you Mr. President my ass.
