Booyah, i may support this administration after all

Sanctions need to be backed up by military support, Russia's economy is fucked either way, whether they continue the war or whether the war ends tomorrow, Russia's economy will collapse, so Putin will just keep going now until he gets some sort of major win. Sanctions on their own do not stop tyrants from doing tyrannical things, it's good news that heavier sanctions will come but if its not backed by military action then Russia will just continue throwing bodies into the grinder and continue to slowly take more land from Ukraine.
