Because if they are going to war, they aren't going to sell the gas and oil, they are going to use it.So why did you claim we couldn't hurt them with sanctions.
They're a third rate economy with a lot of oil and gas.

First of all, we can't hurt them with sanctions because Russia is an ally (and, in some way, protector) of China, and an important member of the Shanghai Pact. So - China can buy everything that Russia wants to sell and sell her almost everything that Russia wants to buy. Same way, we can't hurt China military, because Russia is vitally interested to protect China.So why did you claim we couldn't hurt them with sanctions.

As far as exports, Spain, 47 million people, and Belgium, 12 million people, export more than Russia, 142 million people. So does Ireland, with 5 million people.

They have everything they need, to survive on their own, with or without sanctions. Any money they make from these resources will not matter if Putin decides to go to war. They will use these resources for themselves. The Russians have come a long way since the Soviet era, but they can quite easily go back to the good ol' forced labor if needed.

They're the largest by landmass and the 9th largest by population.
GDP per capita, they're down in the 70s.

Putin will give Biden enough time for Biden to advise Ukraine to cede some territory to avoid war. Then Putin will take whatever he wants and lady Biden will say he tried.

Damn, you're one ignorant boi.Biden wants to send troops into Ukraine to help cover up a few guys going in to destroy data surrounding his son's financial misdeeds that he personally profited from.
The rest is just distraction from a failed domestic policy.

And by the way, economic sanctions by the US are totally illegal and have always been illegal.
The Ukraine also is criminal.
Since 1991 they have illegally been siphoning off gas and oil from Russian pipelines going through the Ukraine, to Europe.
They owe Russia tens of billions, to pay back what they stole.
