Russian leader says 'sanctions storm' didn't sink the country's economy as nation teeters on edge of

debt default

Russia's financial system has "withstood" the "sanctions storm" that has been imposed against the country by global leaders over its war with Ukraine, the prime minister claimed on Thursday, despite skyrocketing inflation and the threat of a Russian debt default.

"The authors of this strategy expected that the sanctions storm would destroy our economy in a few days. Their scenario didn't come true," Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said in an address to the Russian State Duma, according to a translation by NBC News.

"We have — withstood," Mishustin said, according to NBC News. "Our financial system [has] withstood," Mishustin said.

Mishustin added, "Unfriendly countries have not come up with anything better than to return to the typical pirate practice. By freezing assets, they actually robbed the country," according to the news outlet.

I guess they could form a little club of like-minded shitheads. While the rest of the world prospers, the amount of land they can keep in miserable oppression under the jackboot should become significantly smaller, and harder for them to hold onto.
