US press: The West could not calculate the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on itself
In the major American media, materials are increasingly appearing in which experts at various levels say that the collective West could not calculate the impact of anti-Russian sanctions. With the introduction of one package of sanctions after another, the West hoped to cause irreparable harm to the Russian economy, cause a wave of dissatisfaction with the socio-economic situation in Russia and reduce the situation to mass protests, leading almost to a "color revolution" - following the example of the Kyiv "Maidan".

The publication points out that the political opponents of the current authorities in the West will certainly benefit from the current situation. One such example is the possible victory of the Republicans in the midterm elections in the United States.
But the American author does not say what will happen in the United States if the Republicans take the majority from the Democrats in Congress, and the policy of sanctions, remaining unchanged, continues to accelerate inflation? In this case, who should American citizens choose? After all, with a political alternative in the United States, as you know, there are a lot of problems ...
