This was on Facebook this morning;

Russia has already been cut off from CNN, Pornhub & Facebook. The US is now working on depriving Russians of McDonalds & CocaCola. If they keep going with these sanctions, Russians will soon be among the healthiest & best informed people on the planet.

individual,

Right. It is not as if Russians are not used to going without, either. We in Australia and the West in general are the ones taking for granted life's little luxuries, which are about to get a lot dearer, and even out of reach for many people thinking about who they will vote for this year.

Russians are not like us. They are a tough, pragmatic lot. They have survived unimaginable (to us) hardships and terrors. Many of them still think the man who killed more of their forbears than Hitler killed Jews , Joseph Stalin, was a great leader. Apart from a couple of hundred of them here and there, the stories about ordinary Russians being against Putin are fictitious.

>Americans are paying the equivalent of $3 for a litre of petrol
Are you sure that's a litre not a gallon?

Americans are paying the equivalent of $3 a litre, of $5 to $6 dollars an American gallon, which is 0.264 litres. Straight from American news.

Russia has produced its latest list of unfriendly states. Whereas there were only two previously, America and Czechoslovakia, it has been extended to include:

Australia, Albania, Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Micronesia, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, the United Kingdom, South Korea, San Marino, North Macedonia, Singapore, Taiwan, Montenegro, Switzerland, Japan and Ukraine.

$6 per gallon works out to be $1.32 per litre. Even if converted to $Aust its about $A1.80.
