What Russia has now, in the short term, is a fucking shit storm but within a year or two they will be in a much better place then before all this started. Yes, Russia has high inflation right now but they will come out of the high inflation much faster then the west will.

Dude you’re crazy if you think Russia ends up in a better position. This is the end of Russia as being relevant to anything more than making threats about nuclear war for at least 20+ years.
This was self inflicted destruction of a country because the leader is a lunatic. There will be no bright days for Russia’s foreseeable future.
Russia can’t even reopen their stock market. They will soon start defaulting on loans. Putin is threatening to nationalize assets of companies which pulled out.
Russia is now a blackhole as an economy. The worst part is Russia’s economy is still “falling” it hasn’t yet reached the bottom.
It might be argued that Russia could brush it off if they could have quickly taken Ukraine and ended the war with a new puppet state. However Russia’s losses on the battlefield show how bad Russia’s military is and how much in disrepair their military is in.
They lost a fucking corvette navel ship to fucking shore fire. One of their newest most modern ships was destroyed by GRAND fire from a shore based attack.
Not only has Russia’s economy been destroyed, they are currently destroying their own military and will not have the ability to rebuild. Russia has been shown to be a paper tiger and the laughing stock of the world.
This is not a short term fuck up. It’s the end of the current state of Russia as even a regional power.
