What proof? I am only showing that you basically do the same you accuse "Russian" posters of: posting falsehoods (which you would know if you even had READ the article you linked)...

RUKENTUTS MODE DETECTED: Hand waving, moving goalposts!
You're claiming that I was posting falsehoods because the oil prices are the main culprit, and that the sanctions were predominantly US pushed. The EU have done a significant amount themselves.
I never claimed the sanctions were alone in hurting Russia's economy, but they certainly have helped.Both these sanctions applied to Russia and Russia's import bans in response have contributed to the collapse of the ruble and the 2014–15 Russian financial crisis

You're the one bringing up internal criticism and opinion as proof that EU didn't push for harder sanctions.
Are you even able to read: let me link to the post I made before: the third round they did NOT pushed harder than the US as you claimed, the opposite even (as showed in the paragraph Criticism). I never said they were predominantly pushed by the US...

You're so strange. I am talking about how EU was fucked up against US because they played to their tune and you keep blabbering "b-b-b-but Russia!"
It doesn't make me feel better that Russian economy is fucked up as well, because I care for my salary in euro, not in roubles, which devalued against US-valued goods a lot. And for me weak rouble is great, the more my buyer's capacity is increased. And it doesn't make me feel better ukraine economy is in ruin with their 30% inflation against 15% in Russia and hryvnia devalued twice even against already devalued rouble.
So you've confused the reason with an effect. No wonder you've failed.

"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
And we start the whole conversation again with people posting "... but Russia" all the time and linking to articles a half year old which have been discussed endlessly. Did Iron Fist manage to get a whole new breed of friends to post the same bullshit he did?
