Everyone always complains about Russian domestic cheese (for good reason). My local farmer's market dairy family took a course in cheese making and now for several years has made homemade cheese (from their own amazing organic milk) that is as good or better than what I've had in the US or Europe. I don't even miss the Finnish imported cheese any more...
Excellent analysis of the sanctions issue, goes deeper than the "omg, we're about to be 100% self sufficient, make deals in yuan and US dollar gonna crash tomorroz LOLz".
Could be a 5D chess move: Putin provokes the West, knowing they can only do sanctions, no more US chips with surveillance technologies, then Russia stops being developed technologically, and eventually a nationwide QR code scanning system can't be implemented anymore! But the Soviet era nukes still work because they're made with analog technologies like attaching copper wire to a tin can and guiding it with a flashlight all the way to Washington. Then it's check mate!
This could easily be expanded into an even broader discussion on several fronts: 1) The impact of Russia’s expanding trade partnerships with countries like Iran, which I understand produces some rather advanced electronics; 2) The risk of using Western-sourced chips & servers which are known to be preloaded with spyware installed by criminal elements like the Maxwell sisters; 3) The potential for expanding defense industry production to include other industries given the risk associated with foreign-sourced materials; and, 4) I’m realizing the whole escalation of the Ukraine rhetoric is a convenient distraction from the gold heist underway.
and the rest is equally a waste of time discussing it from this perspective, ever heard of GIGO?
Ukraine... too many chickenshit/wannabe-*experts* and wet dreamers shooting bullshit, let's not waste time, anyone here who doesn't have better things to do?
Simple question: Should Putin have the same RIGHT to "MRGA" - Make Russia Great Again? What the USA once was, Russia is becoming: independent, prosperous, debt-free and Christian.
Seems like Russia needs more joint ventures with China. Make Huawei manufacture 10% of whatever chips it sells to Russia in Russia itself. I mean, isn't that how China built up its own tech industry?

Excellent insights.
No one is self-sufficient, but Russia would have fewer difficulties than others to surmount if it were forced to do so. BTW, Vesti writes shit,
cf. China is increasing imports of fruits and vegetables https://east-fruit.com/en/news/china-is-increasing-imports-of-fruits-and-vegetables-faster-than-any-other-country-in-the-world/

Russia doesn't care but the Russians in London do and that's probably what makes the tiniest bit of difference.
