The bad part in all of this is that this will only cause pain to the people, but the elite will remain comfortable and unaccountable.

At most, it will reduce the power of Russia and end once and for all its imperial delirium. The USA is setting up the final bomb on Russia, for not all plugs had been disconnected. Once Russia has bleed long enough, a peace treaty will be signed, in which bans will remain in place in exchange of territory and no reparations. Then, once the Dutch disease had metastasized, the USA will unplug the remaining lifelines, and once all stock is spent, hell will break lose. The Russian elite will not move from its eights, so no reform will be made to reverse the collapse. This will lead to a massive russian diaspora, which will further accelerate the collapse. The elites will remain happy, for there's enough for them to keep their lifestyle and power. They might even be bought from the outside to keep them numb.

The final death of the red bear is inevitable. Irreversible. For good.

To all Russian brothers who just want to live their lives and prosper, please know you are welcome to Argentina. Just leave communism outside, embrace freedom, and you will be received with a warm hug. VLLC.

Would Trump becoming president be a game changer?
