MOSCOW, March 13 Head of the Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky, commenting on the statements of the US President Joe Biden about negative changes in the country's economy, said that any sanctions have a boomerang effect, and in the end they hit those who wanted to introduce them. Slutsky recalled Biden's words about inflation and the White House's position that Americans pay more at gas stations due to the actions of the Russian Federation. «Poor, poor Americans! It turns out that it was Russia itself that imposed unprecedented sanctions against itself and banned the import of petroleum products to the United States. And all just to get into the pockets of American taxpayers,» Slutsky wrote in his Telegram channel.
08:00Hellish, but not eternal: who will break first due to Western sanctions At the same time, he noted that in fact it was Washington that unleashed the «cruelest economic war» against Moscow, where the United States is now also suffering losses. «We have always said that any sanctions have a boomerang effect — in the end they hit those who so zealously wanted to introduce them. Blaming Russia now for the worsening economic situation in the United States is all the same blaming the gun for shooting himself in the foot,” Slutsky said. He also noted that Biden lacks the courage to admit that the general crisis was provoked by “ambitions to establish US hegemony and the policy of intervening in internal the affairs of sovereign states». «All events, including the Russian military operation in Ukraine, were the result of this thoughtless policy of imposing American exceptionalism. It is for this that ordinary Americans today are forced to pay an increased price,» the deputy added.
