After Putin's attacks on Ukraine, the US White House, the EU and much of the rest of the world hit Russia with strong sanctions targeting their access to key technologies and the global financial system. From chip imports to SWIFT, the sanctions are hard and many companies also decided to pull out. Will they work?

@Bri Ba There was a reason why German and Italian regimes were not overthrown by there own people during WW2. Putin's Russia is hyper-repressive these days. Any act of protest, or even the lack of active support for this war (they force school kids and students into pro-war flashmobs, and expel those who don't want to), will have harsh consequence. Sadly to say, but everything is in hands of "Ukrainian IT workers in camo and holding AKs". Longer they stand up - faster Putin regime will crash.

If it takes 3 months to make a complicated chip (a figure I vaguely recall reading somewhere recently) and you stop taking orders from Russia because of sanctions, then even when the sanctions end and you start taking orders again, they're going to be waiting a further 3 months to get any chips. What might be a 6-month set of sanctions in general might turn into a 9-month one for chips, just due to manufacturing complexity.

I've worked as an embedded software dev for 20 years and those chips usage goes far beyond than most people think here are just some I've worked on. Chips in gasstations, sewages, waterplants, oilplants, food production etc etc etc. Everything which is somewhat automated/remote controlled with logics in place is royally fucked to put it lightly. It won't even take 1 year until major consequences are beginning to appear in normal peoples life. Fresh water, gas and food will get wracked sooner or later as everything requires modern chips these days. I'am really interested in the way the russians are gonna deal with it. Even us without any trade restrictions had problems the last 3 years due to the semiconductor shortages especially in embedded fields. sry that my grammar sucks hard, but I really wanted to make clear how depended a modern civilization is from these chips. The most basic infrastracture is dependend on it. a little edit for further info. The lowest russian semiconductors got around 130~ nm. They've claimed to produce 90nm but that one never came to light so most likely a propaganda hoax.

You are 100% correct my friend. General purpose chips have insinuated themselves into almost all business. This is why people do not understand the situation in Taiwan.

Russia, the largest nation on earth, has access to huge natural resources, and an educated, scientifically literate population, and yet its economy is reliant on commodities such as energy and minerals, and ordinary citizens have a relatively low standard of living. The only people who make money are the oligarchs, and they hoard it to themselves, investing in Western economies and assets, and educating their children in the UK and Americ. Putin himself has become incredibly wealthy by stamping down the aspirations of the people he supposedly represents, and has salted away the proceeds with his billionaire friends. For twenty years he has looked backwards with nostalgia to the Soviet era, and he has kept Russia facing in the same direction, while lining his own pockets very deeply. Russia, which once held its own in the space race, has fallen further and further behind the West, and been overtaken by China, and the other rising economies in the East. The only thing he has invested in consistently is the military, and now we see that even that is not as effective as he supposed. He's let his country down very badly, if they did but know it. However he still has enormous potential to do damage - a nuclear weapon can still get by on 75 year old technology, after all. He's signed his own fate now, but who will he take down with him?

Also don't forget that Russia's energy exports to south Asia and east Asia will continue (and likely expand), and keep some (lower -than-before) amount revenue coming in.

Saying that Putin's foreign reserves were frozen is true but also undersells just how unprecedented this is. Never before has the central bank of a G20 economy been heavily sanctioned, and iirc the only central banks the US has ever directly sanctioned were North Korea, Venezuela, and Iran, all absolutely tiny economies compared to Russia. Not only that, but the largest proportion of his reserves were not in dollars, but in Euros, with Putin betting that Western European economies highly dependent on Russian energy exports would not join in the sanctions, which, at first, they didn't. If the invasion had lasted just a couple days like Putin seems to have planned, this strategy would have worked perfectly. Besides, the whole reason you invest in foreign assets for your war chest is to *protect the value of the ruble.* When the ruble starts to fall you sell off your foreign currencies and exchange them for rubles to keep the price up. The real question here isn't why Putin thought foreign assets would help his economy, it's why we're in week 3 of what everyone else thought would be a 3 day war.

Back in the day, the Soviet army had Commissars to deal with the morale issue. Now they have to use high command and get them killed at a ridiculously high rate by having to go to the front and crack the whip themselves.

It no longer about the sanctions though, its now about the image company's working in Russia will have now. I suspect even companies that don't have sanctions will be withdrawing service.

Think of similar scenario with China. Every sector globally would impact since most countries fully dependant on import from china and specifically cant survive without Lithium or Semiconductor demand.

the Chinese dictatorship will meet its end. Western countries should pull out all of their factories from China and instead invest in other nations like for example South America, South East Asia or Eastern Europe. the Chinese CCP is a danger to the world.

@Levis H how is China a danger to the world? Like the Us to the middle east or when they were ready to start ww3 out greed, pride and carelessness during the Cuban missle crisis...

[@namanjain5763]

The main reason CCP is still there is because of promise of common growth. That for past 2-3 decades have made people to even take some down beating. They don't provide human right but it's still better then starving to death that has what CCP has done overtime. Is it all because of there own effort?- the answer is no. But Have they taken full credit ? - answer is yes. With Chinese economy slowing due to bad terms with others,other starting to pull out there resources, their bad one child policy ie a shrinking working class people. Historically all dictatorship collapse by public is done when the times turns bad and still their behaviour don't change. If thing are getting better general public will tolerate more and more but when things start to turn bad even earlier level of tolerance start to be less. CCP is not that stupid Atleast what I think for world to put halt in there economy by giving them very clear reason to do so. But even small changes overtime will affect a lot in long run. I really don't see CCP lasting anything more then next 60 years. To long but slowing and degrowth will take that much time only

Russia assumed the goverment in ukraine would flee and it would be over in a few days without alot of fighting and install a puppet goverment and that wouldnt had triggered these heavy sanctions,ukraine held its ground and everything went to shit and the sanctions reflect that.

I feel like a lot the countries that have put ban on oil and energy imports from Russia will slowly resume them again after a while when global interest towards this war will fade a bit as these bans are hurting their own citizens as well with rising fuel prices and other costs.

[@e21big]

The US seems to officially ban Russia oil import now so I don't think they can really count on that - at least not until they run out of money and everything collapsed into pieces anyway, then it's probably worth it to drain them of everything that still hold any value, talents, natuaral resources, gold, property. China will probably be the first to move on that if and when the Dissolution 2.0 happened (and by that point, the sanction would have served its purpose, probably don't have to keep it up after that)

[@Enrico-]

What countries have stopped the imports? The US won't bring Russian oil back. Europe is gonna start gradually reduce methane in the future but for the near future not much gonna change. Right now we're still buying as always but that will change in the next years and they can't build gas pipelines through Mongolia in a few years.

[@abdiganiaden]

It’s actually opposite, due to higher oil prices OPEC may be benefiting from profits in short term but they are panicking in long term. Why? Because higher oil prices will accelerate word to find alternatives such as renewables, etc That’s why OPEC is already calling for higher supply to slow higher prices.

In your preview of your Technorama channel, you speak of Ada Lovelace and the Analytical Engine - "the computer with cogs and wheels". It was not conceived by Ada Lovelace - it was conceived and partly built by Charles Babbage, who didn't even get a mention in your comment. He demonstrated parts of the machine to her when they met in 1833. Ada was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron, but she had studied mathematics, and was very interested in the concepts of the analytical engine (as the computer was called), and is hailed as the world's first programmer. It was made for mathematical analysis of numeric problems, such as statistics, finance, etc, but Ada, more imaginativew than Babbage, was the first to see deeper possiblities of using it for anaysis of shapes and objects, such as topology and musical composition. The scientific computer language, Ada, was named after her. Babbage was not a good man manager, could not hold staff, and never completed the analytical engine. It was later built from his plans, and an example of it can be seen in the Science Museum in London.

I think it's safe to say that Putin did not expect such a backlash from the international community, where everyone came together and imposed economic and other sanctions on Russia. I think Putin thought Ukraine would be easy to take over, like Crimea. He had no idea of the Ukrainian's fighting spirit, and how they are willing to fight for their home, from that 14 year old boy I saw on the news, to the 70 year old man who has military experience. I hope the Ukrainians and the independent ex-soldiers who are headed their way to help can hold out long enough for the sanctions to work, or for a coup to happen in Russia that removes Putin from power.

[@kirgan1000]

Putin unknowingly invoked a "peace for our time" senario, that transfrom all European peace doves to furious war hawks.

[@pipoo1]

The most astonishing consequence I’ve seen as a result of this is that on the next couple of years Germany will leapfrog to have the third largest military in the world, behind only the US and China, after decades of shying away from exercising its obvious strength this way due to the shame Germans felt over WW2, Putin has awoken the sleeping European Giant. Add the forces of the UK and France, both nuclear powers and far from strengthening Russia Putins war is going to leave it militarily weak and economically poor.
