Yes I think that Russia has prepared herself for this sanctions before now and that is making it look like it is just nothing happening to Russia. For now they have strengthen trading activities with her aligns which China is the leader. China itself has a large market network around Asian countries so Russia won't have any problem to divert to China for supplies for the economy.
Yeah yeah, it will do that and this and it will end up just in the same 10 km deep shithole as the USSR did.
For 10 years that's all I've been hearing the US will crumble, Europe is ding of hunger, the US is going through a civil war, Africa South America, all of Asia is with the USSR, thousands of west germans are feeling to East Germany...and we were so damn poor we barely could afford to have anything other than staple foods.
This is current Russia, the mighty superpower, before sanctions:
Average wage 492€, on the same level as Bosnia and about 10 times lower than Switzerland
Average life expectancy, 73.2, lower than Bangladesh or Venezuela, 10 years less than Italy or Spain or France, for males just 68.2.
The homicide rate, 8.2, is higher than Tanzania or Zimbabwe, and before you ask it's 60% higher than in the USA.
So, do I have to spell it for you how it will look after they are cut off from all the trading?
You know that Aeroflot has Boeing and Airbus planes for their long-range flights, Renault makes their only cars, and they even import vodka from Sweden and Finland? Enjoy the shitshow!
