James Galbraith challenges common perceptions about western sanctions and their impact on Russia, revealing unexpected outcomes for its economy and development. Contrary to the goals of defunding the war and degrading Russia's military capacity, sanctions have led to economic adjustments that have fostered Russia's independent development. Galbraith points out that despite initial disruptions, Russia adapted by focusing on domestic production and diversifying its economic partnerships. This analysis provides a nuanced view of economic sanctions' real-world impacts, suggesting that their effectiveness and consequences are more complex than commonly understood.
