@HistoPol @theeconomist Economy. You have your sources so you are entitled to your informed opinion but time will tell despite what we believe.
Look at their inflation, interest rates, currency valuation, declining worker population, loss of military contracts, a wartime economy that is rapidly depositing their reserves into a Ukrainian graveyard. What escape route do they have on all of that? Things take a lot more time than most think. We expect to see immediate reaction but organisms struggle to survive despite a losing battle.
Sorry I am not letting you finish your thread before replying. I have to refocus on other things shortly.
