What are the benefits of US sanctions against Russia?

There is no benefit, but Russia intervened in the situation in Ukraine and gave him the necessary warning. Because of the criminal Soviet criminal record, the west does not want Russia to make too much moves.

The situation in Ukraine is now more complicated. Ukraine left the Soviet Union in order to fall to the west, but there have always been pro-Russian forces in Ukraine, so the west did not sincerely accept Ukraine, resulting in the Ukrainian economy has not developed. In addition, all Ukrainians with a little economic ability and brains have been migrating to the United States, Western Europe and Russia, so Ukraine has become an empty shell. Poverty has caused some people in this country to resent the inaction of the current government, the so-called pro-Russian armed forces. As for why we were pro-Russian in the first place, it was partly because we were pro-Western, and the West would not support them in making trouble.

In view of Georgia's invasion of Russia on August 8, 2008, there were 200,000 army troops in the Russian Caucasus, and it took 48 hours to make up for them. At that time, Georgia had 20,000 troops. It was a terrible trick to let Georgians kill Georgians on the Russian border (formerly Georgian territory), and then Russia would send troops. Countries like Russia are looking for Cao. If it is comfortable, it is honest.

Even if Ukraine returns to Russia, Russia intends to sacrifice Ukrainians at the first time to prevent war. Putin has been in power for too long and began to swell. It is uncomfortable not to blow twice.
