Ursula von der Leyen the horrible head of the European Commission has reiterated the EU’s position that the goal of their sanctions is to crush Russia’s economy.

EU sanctions are aimed at plunging the Russian economy into a recession for years to come and depriving the country of crucial technologies, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in an address to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Tuesday.

The European bloc has imposed nine rounds of sanctions against Russia since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, targeting many sectors of the economy, including energy, high-tech, aviation, banking, mining, automotive and other industries.

“We have put in place the strongest sanctions ever, which leave the Russian economy facing a decade of regression and its industry starved of any modern and critical technologies,” von der Leyen said.

The latest restrictions came into force in December and include new export controls and restrictions on dual-use goods and technology, along with products and technology that could be used in the defense and security sectors. The measures target key chemicals, nerve agents, night-vision and radio-navigation equipment, as well as electronics and IT components.

Their sanctions have done the opposite. Russia’s economy is getting stronger while the EU is collapsing from inflation and a lack of energy resources.

They think the sanctions haven’t worked because they haven’t sanctioned hard enough so they’re going to do a 10th round of sanctions.

You really can’t fix stupid. They just keep tripling down on their failing strategy and it is really quite an insane thing to witness.
