2nd, it pulled Putin out of the bottom of the well he was drowning in and in fact gave him enough breath's that once again Europe is considering Russia a greater threat than they were just 6 months ago. 3rd it puts pressure on Europe and NATO economically to the point that in combination with Eloon throwing his billions around over there supporting far right parties he could try and force regime change to leaders more friendly to him and weaken Europe in general. Not saying FatFuck thought this out that deep but the sinister minds that really pull the levers, this was a 100% positive play to enrich friends and themselves and to attempt to get far dicktaters in play and upset the balance of power in Europe which they see as enemy number 1 to them.
