The miracle is that it lasted this long. You try to Kamikaze another economy with terror sanctions, but still expect them to satisfy your energy needs?
I love how the arrogant and criminal political class in the West simply assumed that Putin would abide by their 'maximum price' for gas and oil. They've never heard anything but "yes, Master" from their own populations or anyone in the world.
The reason I can't entirely be blackpilled about the future is that while the Regime overlords may be quite capable at navigating the Leviathan bureaucracy, they are so disconnected from reality that they constantly fail to understand basic cause and effect.
So when something they didn't expect to happen happens, they're unprepared to handle it because no one thought to work up a contingency plan for it. Which puts them on their back foot as they have to scramble to come up with something.

But they do have a plan. Economic lockdowns, rolling blackouts and beating their native populations untill they stop protesting.
There are too many foreigners in Europe to successfully do that, the chimpout from turkroaches in Germany will be absolutely immense.
God, that's a depressing observation but you're probably right.
