Agree. It will be interesting to see how things play out


in Russia in the coming months. With Putin digging in and his citizens' quality of life ultimately starting to deteriorate, he will find himself in a tough spot.

I was reading a piece about Russia's need to become more self-sufficient to see this through. Apparently that means the return of Soviet-era automobiles with no power steering, ABS, etc. If these sanctions have the intended impact, life will start to feel pretty different at some point before too long.

The Chinese are undoubtedly watching.
