Do' solo un campione:
 
Whether Russia understood the underlying obligations that accompanied its memberships is unclear. The ink was not yet dry on Russia's accession to the WTO, for example, when Putin demanded that member countries be allowed to introduce protectionist measures during times of global insecurity.
 
Yet the consensus in Russia was that membership bought Russia a vital seat at the table and increased its influence in world affairs. In addition, the United States and the European Union generally believed that it was better to have Russia inside -- as opposed to outside -- the international system of global governance even if Russia did not meet all the prerequisites for full membership.
 
The Ukrainian crisis has exposed the flaws of this thinking -- especially for the West. For Putin, however, events in Ukraine have raised a larger question: Should Russia remain a part of the global system?
 
Russia's ambivalent attitude toward global institutions reflects its history -- a single autocratic leader has dominated the country's public institutions for centuries. Indeed, since returning to power in 2012, Putin's agenda has focused on reining in all other Russian political and civic institutions -- the legislature, the judiciary, the media, higher education, nongovernmental organizations -- and has faced little real opposition in the process. So it is not surprising that Putin entered the Ukrainian crisis with the firm belief that international institutions would not get in his way.
 
Putin's fundamental misunderstanding of how the post-imperial, post-World War Two international system works has already created serious economic consequences in Russia. Under the recent European Union and U.S. economic sanctions, state-owned Russian banks and Russian companies now have limited access to the international banking system. Moscow is also barred from receiving new loans from the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a loss of several billions of dollars annually.
 
Meanwhile, Gazprom, the state-controlled natural gas company, still awaits the verdict of the European Commission's investigation of possible antimonopoly violations. Significant fines usually accompany such inquiries -- as Google and Microsoft can attest. The Yukos expropriation bill, which covers Putin's 2004 confiscation of Russia's then largest privately held oil company, also finally came due in July. The Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague and the European Court of Human Rights ruled against the Russian state to the tune of $50 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.
 
Meanwhile, Russia's new sanctions on agricultural imports and its consistent abuse of inspections to block fruit, vegetable and meat imports from the European Union, United States, Moldova and Ukraine seem to be ideal fodder for a claim to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. Poland has already announced its intention to file a WTO complaint, and other countries appear likely to follow.

Intanto l'Europa e' in recessione.
 
E' in recessione adesso, prima degli effetti delle sanzioni.
 
Nonostante abbiano incluso nel PIL droga e prostituzione.
Gran mossa disperata.

Per altro direi che il pericolo maggiore per Putin e' che vengano a diminuire i redditi da idrocarburi proprio mentre sta in mezzo al guado con la ricostruzione del suo faraonico esercito da 1.500.000 uomini.
 
Se non erro e' dal 2001 che la Russia sta spendendo il 4-5% del PIL nell'ammodernamento di un esercito che faceva pena ed era stato sconfitto in Afghanistan. Una cifra insostenibile senza il reddito da idrocarburi. Vicina solo a quella cinese.
 
Direi che e' stato un errore clamoroso, di cui si sta accorgendo la Germania, ma non ancora l'Italia. di pagare a Putin i nuovi missili (e corpi speciali) che Putin ci sta puntando addosso.
 
L'Ucraina e' un wake up call, ma ben tardivo. Prima gli si tolgono quei soldi e meglio sara'. Inoltre gli si toglierebbe una delle principali basi di consenso, la classe militare, sempre bisognosa di regalie  ed eterno bacino di corruzione.
