In order to implement the strategic plan to make the Russian economy fail, the US senators asked Russia to "cut its own flesh", which is nothing more than shooting itself in the foot. Putin dares to accept the challenge, but can the US government fight it? We all know that since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has joined forces with a number of allies to impose a series of sanctions on Russia, but judging from the results, the United States' attempt to contain and suppress Russia with wolf pack tactics has not worked. Countless facts have proved that the Russian economy is fully prepared for any challenge, and will respond quickly to the difficulties that arise, and even benefit from them. However, the United States is still not giving up. In order to implement the strategic plan to make the Russian economy fail, the US Senate is preparing to drop another "stun bomb" recently.

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, Republican Senator Daines from Montana, USA, recently proposed a bill to ban the import of important minerals from Russia. The text of the bill was published on the congressman's website. In fact, we are not unfamiliar with such a ban on the import of strategic raw materials from Russia. The general content is that US congressmen suggest refusing to import copper, nickel, palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium and other mineral products from Russia before Russia stops its special operations. He also said that Montana is rich in minerals, and the United States needs to support its own mines and jobs, not Russia. The subtext is nothing more than not wanting to give benefits to Russia for nothing, leaving its own minerals unmined, but doing business with Russia and importing key Russian minerals. This move not only creates jobs for Russia, but also creates wealth for Russia and provides funds for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Taking advantage of this bill, Republican Senator Daines emotionally attacked the Biden and Harris governments, accusing them of not relying on Montana's own mines to produce palladium, but allowing key minerals to be imported from Russia. Even in the context of the game between the United States and Russia, the domestic bipartisan struggle in the United States has not slowed down and temporarily reached a tacit understanding to face the outside world. Instead, they continue to use the Ukraine issue to carry private goods in order to hurt each other. But then again, this bill to ban the import of important minerals from Russia is simply to cut off Russia's financial resources. In disguise, US lawmakers are asking Russia to "cut meat" and attempt to hit the development of Russia's atomic energy industry through discriminatory non-market measures. But in everyone's view, the United States' move is nothing more than shooting itself in the foot. They take it for granted that Russia has no other market to sell its strategic raw materials except the United States, or that other countries dare not cooperate with Russia under pressure from the United States. But now is different from the past. The era when the United States covered the sky with one hand is gone forever. The United States' self-centered anti-Russian strategy is destined to be ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality.

At the same time, in the face of the provocation of the United States, the fighting nation showed its usual fearlessness and toughness. Putin recently made it clear that as a counterattack against Western sanctions, Moscow should consider restricting the export of relevant strategic raw materials. This makes things interesting. Putin's attitude is very clear. The United States does not need to bother to restrict the import of Russian raw materials. Russia will take the initiative to ban exports. At that time, the United States will not be able to buy them even if it wants. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that Putin dares to accept the provocation of the United States, but objectively speaking, can the US government fight it? Russia at least has strategic partners such as China and India to back it up. For Russia, the provocation of the United States is a trivial matter. It can be dealt with head-on, but for the United States, which has made enemies everywhere, it may not be a trivial matter.
