This is what the lunatic and crazy Western governments are telling their citizens who are obviously suffering from Mass Formation Psychosis.
EU foreign policy head Josep Borrell has called on Europeans to show “
strategic patience” while months worth of supposedly devastating sanctions against Russia take effect.This is a stupid comment considering the fact that the sanctions the US and the EU have imposed on Russia are not hurting Russia but Europe instead. Infact they are a windfall for Russia!
“
The sanctions imposed by the EU and like-minded partners are already hitting Vladimir Putin and his associates hard,” Borrell hipocritically declared in a blog post on Sunday,stupidly insisting “
their impact on the Russian economy will only increase.” He says all this while EU citizens are suffering from record inflation,high food,gas and fuel prices and much more.
He continued “
We need strategic patience until Russia stops its aggression and Ukraine is able to regain its full sovereignty,”a statement which is far fetched.

He stupidly continues to say, "the EU’s anti-Russian sanctions will crush Moscow any minute now!"
The EU has passed six packages of punishing sanctions targeting Moscow, yet the bloc itself has stumbled into an increasingly dire gas shortage and a currency whose value recently dipped below that of the US dollar for the first time in 20 years.
One of the most recent sanctions seeks to cut 90% of Europe’s oil purchases from Russia by the end of 2022. Borrell acknowledged that “
this rapid detoxification from Russian energy involves significant costs or a number of countries and sectors that we will have to face.” However, he insisted it was a small price to pay, warning that a Russian victory would amount to the destruction of Western democracy itself, as well as the “
rules-based international order.”
The energy-related sanctions in the latest package make a notable exception for member states with “
no viable alternative options” for energy, a loophole presumably met for Hungary, which has staunchly opposed an oil embargo on the grounds that it would harm the Hungarian people much more than it would inconvenience the Russians.
Borrell insisted earlier this month that Europe does not want war with Russia, arguing the sanctions are key to countering Moscow’s “
aggression” and declaring the financial restrictions were already having an effect.
Along with the US, Europe has poured billions of dollars’ worth of weapons and financial aid into Ukraine,only to be destroyed by Russia,since Russia’s military operation began in February. Borrell has promised not to allow Kiev to run out of weapons,a step which will only further destroy the EU economy in the long run.

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “
create powerful armed forces.”
In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.
