Russia is not fully cut from western financial system. Even few EU banks are there.

Price cap is poorly enforced. All economic sanctions applied to Russia are poorly enforced thanks to globalization and lack of political will of western countries.

Sanctions are severe on paper, but in real life just adds some extra friction.

Unfortunately we are living in times when there are only weak populists in the government.

I wish the next is president will be someone like Reagan, but it is impossible.
