Anyway people have different opinion... Russia will fall into a deep depression, that is already for sure, they even don't need to use weapons, in 5 year Russia will be as dark as N-Korea and local people will suffer, and then Putin will die from natural dead, and the West and USA will start working with Russia again. So how faster Putin die from natural dead (or being killed) how faster Russia will raise from depression, as we are talking about trillions of investments being blocked, i can easily see a GDP of -20% for the coming years. They will even beg for freedom, and a new revolution will hit Russia. So the hitler thought of Putin will result in all little states.
