In response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, US President Joe Biden vowed to isolate and “cripple” the Russian economy. However, Moscow has been able to maintain its economic strength, in part by exporting over $1 billion per month in wood, metals, food and other goods to the US.
More than 3,600 ships from Russia have arrived at US ports since February 24, according to statistics cited by the Associated Press. While that is nearly half of the shipments over the same period compared to last year, it still amounts to over $6 billion in imports.
The number of Russian products entering US ports suggests Biden is falling short of his pledge to isolate Moscow’s economy. Due to so-called “wind down” periods that allow companies to complete previous deals, some of the goods continue to enter the country long after the White House announced sanctions on those products, including oil and gas. Paradoxically, other Russian imports, such as fertilizer, came at the request of the Biden administration, which has urged American companies to make up for shortages.
And while the White House has seized several luxury yachts owned by rich Russians with loose ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the AP found that American and European firms are importing millions of dollars in metal from a Russian company that makes parts for Moscow’s fighter jets, highlighting another odd discrepancy in Biden’s sanctions campaign.
Despite diplomatic pressure from Washington, other American allies are increasing their economic ties with Russia. Turkey – a NATO member – has doubled its imports of Russian oil this year.
During Biden’s presidency, he has taken several steps to strengthen ties with New Delhi, with American troops currently engaged in war games with India on the Chinese border. But like Ankara, the country has similarly significantly increased energy imports from Moscow. The Indian rupee has also become a major currency for the diamond trade, allowing buyers to bypass US sanctions.
Though the Western economic war was meant to negate Moscow’s military might and bring it to the negotiation table, it has so far seen little success. With Russian energy exports topping pre-war levels in recent months and the ruble rallying against the dollar, Russia’s economy appears to have fared far better than much of Europe since fighting erupted last winter.

“In response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, US President Joe Biden vowed to isolate and “cripple” the Russian economy. However, Moscow has been able to maintain its economic strength, in part by exporting over $1 billion per month in wood, metals, food and other goods to the US. “…
Question: WHY?!!!… With the backdrop of Russian soldiers, sailors and airmen sacrificing their existence for “WHAT” exactly?!!! https://globalbullionsuppliers.com/en-us/blogs/blog/why-is-russia-buying-gold
And does it have something to do with the Russian Central Bank making a killing on the price of physical precious metals that the BOE and Federal Reserve sets for the global markets with all that oil revenue it has that pays for it at the $USD price???…
Again. There are no longer sovereign State(s). Only banks. And this read PROVES IT!
SouthFront removed my post. So I’ll repeat for posterity.

Why is the Russian Federation doing commerce with the Country that is complicit in coups that have murdered 10s of thousands in the Eastern Donbass the past 8 years and is actively murdering it’s sailors, airman, soldiers and marines that is an overt act of global Terr0ri$m?…
Could it be that the Russian Federation’s government would rather accommodate the Western Central Banking establishment that sets and controls the price of physical precious metals and other commodities like energy at such cheap prices at the rest of the World’s expense including their own citizens with those amazingly plentiful oil revenues to purchase it with?… And worse still in the betrayal of their own military servicemen and women dying for it?!!!…
Only Fat boy getting rich along with all his Jewi$h Oligarch pals https://globalbullionsuppliers.com/en-us/blogs/blog/why-is-russia-buying-gold Only wish it weighed less than his conscience!…
Not sure what you’re going on about dude, Russia is taking care of Russia obviously while very few Russian Servicemen and women are dying in Ukraine. The leadership has used less than 20% of it’s forces while rotating every battle group once or twice for much needed resupply and rest and relaxation. It’s artillery is firing hundreds of thousands of shells that decimate all in their path while making an easy go of it wherever they advance while air superiority does the rest. It’s mostly a number of battle groups laughing it up while taking scores of photos and Go-Pro videos.
The gold in question is NOT coming from the west at all. Since Russia owns two of the top 10 goldmines in the world, they don’t have to sneak around with the “enemy” to buy or acquire gold. Btw, Putin has told Russia’s oligarchs to toe the line or hit the road and many have chosen to hit the road and leave the territory of the Russian Federation for good so again, not sure what the fug you’re going on about.
Just how few are dying in Ukraine and Syria the last 8 years?… Including the Ambassadors of good will (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39237748) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Andrei_Karlov) that were foreign service that were murdered by “you know who”???
As for the gold “not coming from the West”… I would agree with some of that statement -perhaps 60%… But what about the other 40% (https://yandex.com/images/search?text=pictures%20of%20U.S.%20servicemen%20with%20Iraq%20gold%20bars&stype=image&lr=102624&source=serp&pos=5&img_url=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-4hF_–Lt2ro%2FXc_pf3FfLyI%2FAAAAAAAAkvA%2Fpk5nrOL7SQkGs3wdIdUN4ldrZrpJtp95QCLcBGAsYHQ%2Fs1600%2Firaq_plunder.JPG&rpt=simage) that includes the deals that were made that bought their $ilence (http://www.911research.wtc7.net/wtc/groundzero/cleanup.html) in exchange for “many things”?…
Tell my why Russia didn’t decouple from SWIFT and $USD officially after Maidan in 2014?… Only to have Putin say this (https://theduran.com/putin-911-not-inside-job/) 3 years after Ukraine’s legitimate government was overthrown by the adversary they were purchasing their PM from at the “globally set price” by Western banks instead of Russia’s own marketplace!???…
Thats because we are hypocrites and there are items we need, that only Russia can supply.
