Against such a huge country, any sanctions are ineffective. For a country with such a rich history, there are no outside restrictions. People are used to shocks and nothing will scare them. The economy is not stable and this makes the country stronger. What needs to happen for Russia to be weak? Only weak government. Now we are seeing a man of genius at the main post of Russia. I think that no sanctions will stop or weaken Russia.
What do you mean by "a huge country"? I was born there. And I can say - out of 100% of a really large area, there is life only on 15% -20% of this territory. Everything else is an uninhabitable area, or absolutely depressive areas of no interest!
If we talk about the economy - this is also a fake! Technologically backward resource economy, dependent on Western technologies, without "exclusive" positions - this is the real picture of the Russian economy! Try to name the technologies that were developed and brought to the world market by Russia over the past 30 years? Well ? Not ? Can't find? That's what I'm talking about!
More or less working sectors of the Russian economy are all the legacy of the USSR, but after 30 years of mediocre exploitation, even these sectors degrade and collapse. So before repeating the mantras of Russian propaganda about greatness, I recommend that you clarify and double-check every statement!
