    No, that wasn’t the point.

    There were 2 goals:

    1. Cut spending to 0 so they could cut taxes (cap gains to 0)

    2. Isolate the US from the rest of the world, this is what Putin cares about the absolute most. If we’re out of the way he sees Russia as unstoppable (which is stupid, they can’t beat any country with functioning tractors).
