Chaos begins in the EU.
The US promised that the Ukraine was going to win the war.
They also promised that the Russian economy would collapse. Instead, Russia won the war, and while the European economy isn’t going to collapse tomorrow, the sanctions have done serious damage to it.
If Putin decided to just cut the gas completely, the European economy probably would topple

The Russian ruble is getting stronger while EU citizens have to cope with higher prices due to sanctions that simply don’t work, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic complained on Tuesday. He called the EU explanation for the partial oil and gas embargo “insulting” and said Croatia had little pull within the bloc, unlike its eighbour Hungary.
“The sanctions aren’t working. Russia isn’t feeling them, the ruble did not collapse. EU citizens get to pay the price, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin gets to smile in contentment, and the oil and gas will go elsewhere because the demand is great,” Milanovic said in Zagreb, commenting on the EU’s latest additions to the anti-Russian embargo.
