Lithuania, Poland and Estonia, as part of the preparation of the 12th package of anti-Russian sanctions, propose to ban the export of nails, nuts, buttons, sewing needles and knitting needles. (https://t.me/rt_russian/176820) “Destructive measures” are designed to disable “Russian production capacities.”
It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. Where, I wonder, will European producers, whom their own authorities intend to force to curtail exports to Russia, sell these “small things” that are easily replaced in other markets? Don’t care about national business again? Will we then have to “patch the gaps” in the thoughtlessly broken trade turnover ourselves?
Against the background of today’s alarming events in the world, the catastrophic aggravation of the situation in the Middle East, which is boomeranging on many countries, including European ones, the hysterical anti-Russian sanctions policy is becoming increasingly hopeless in its consequences and absolutely failure in its essence. “To spite grandma’s ears I’ll frostbite” – that’s what we call it.
