It really doesn’t matter. Russia is finished as we have known it. The majority of their brightest young people have fled the country and their birth rate is in terminal collapse. The ruble is virtually worthless and their oil and gas industry will have to be almost completely rebuilt if it ever comes back at all. The worst thing that could happen to them now is if they actually prevail in taking Ukraine. It will be like the proverbial dog that succeeds in catching the car. Now there in stuck with administrating a country full of people that despise them. What could possibly go wrong?

Not sure what happened here ;-) That should read: Now they’re stuck with administrating a country full of people that despise them.

“It will be like the proverbial dog that succeeds in catching the car.”

That one is getting old.

“Now there in stuck with administrating a country full of people that despise them.”

The Russians have a history of not caring that the people of a country they dominate despises them.

They'll do fine in administering the portions they captured, which is what they set out to do.

The ruble is virtually worthless

Only when measured against the USD.

and their oil and gas industry will have to be almost completely rebuilt if it ever comes back at all.

Oil & Gas will continue to rise in value. It will be worth extracting.

Time will tell.
