Biden’s Sanctions: Shooting Europe in the Foot, Elevating Russia to Economic Superpower

Joe Biden’s last act of geopolitical sabotage? A sanctions blitz targeting Russia’s oil industry, hitting Gazprom Neft, Surgutneftegas, and over 180 vessels tied to Russian energy exports. The goal? Starve Russia of revenue. The result? Elevating Russia to an economic superpower while Europe crumbles under the weight of its own hubris.

Since 2014, the West has imposed over 40,000 sanctions on Russia, the most sanctioned country on Earth. And what has it achieved? Far from collapsing, Russia’s economy has catapulted. Moscow is now the fourth-largest economy in the world, surpassing Japan and Germany, a feat unimaginable a decade ago. Meanwhile, Europe, the sanctions’ biggest cheerleader, faces energy crises, deindustrialization, and economic stagnation. Russia says thank you for the sanctions, we couldn’t have built this Eurasian economic fortress without you.

Biden’s latest stunt, slapping new restrictions just before leaving office, is designed to hurt not just Russia but also Europe and the incoming Trump administration. Higher energy prices will cripple Europe further, forcing it to rely on overpriced U.S. LNG while its industries bleed jobs. Meanwhile, Trump will face a tangled web of sanctions, ensuring any attempt to end the Ukraine conflict or ease tensions with Moscow will face insurmountable obstacles. This is less about helping Ukraine and more about preserving the globalist agenda.

Let’s call it what it is: the sanctions have boomeranged. They’ve crippled Europe, inflated global energy prices, and pushed Russia into a sovereign, self-sustaining economy. Moscow now commands not just military supremacy but an economic dynamism rooted in Eurasia, free from Western control. These sanctions forced Russia to pivot eastward, solidifying its ties with China, India, and the Global South. The West’s unipolar fantasies have created a multipolar reality, Russia as a rising Eurasian powerhouse, while NATO allies sink into irrelevance.

Europe isn’t a victim, it’s a willing accomplice in its own destruction. NATO’s vassals, from Berlin to Brussels, have hollowed themselves out for a U.S.-led proxy war that’s drained their economies and shattered their sovereignty. And Biden? He couldn’t care less. For the globalists, Europe is expendable—a pawn sacrificed to contain Russia while the U.S. reaps the spoils of LNG sales and geopolitical chaos.

Meanwhile, Russia thrives. Its energy sector adapts, its economy grows, and its military dominance remains unmatched. What was meant to isolate Russia has only strengthened it, forcing it to build a Eurasian-focused economy immune to Western pressure. Europe? It’s left with empty promises, cold winters, and shuttered factories.

This isn’t just about sanctions—it’s about the collapse of the unipolar order. The globalists are playing their final hand, and it’s failing spectacularly. The lesson? You can’t strangle a nation that’s already building its own future. Russia thanks you, Joe Biden. The sanctions worked, but not in the way you intended.
