Do you think Russia can survive, and how can they survive the harsh economic realities that they are about to experience? Are the sanctions sufficient to push Putin into a decision to stop the invasion?
I think that’s likely, no matter how they try to go around it, they will be affected for sure. Although it seems there are few countries that have chosen to stay neutral; just like China that has made the decision to keep on trading with Russia, I think there are other countries too, but that is not going to be enough to keep their economy in a good position because they have been banned by the heavy sources (Europe, and the US) and their companies and assets sanctioned as well. So, there is no doubt at all, their economy will be affected and Putin would likely be forced to bow out.
