    Okay, I get the abstract, “it feels wrong” thing, but what is the strategic value?

      If the russian people cannot buy (or it gets really expensive) butter, and the elite cannot buy Porsches, there will be (more) civil unrest.

      If the russians pay more for military stuff then thats good too.
