Despite that anything is possible, I honestly don’t think that it would be that easy and the chances are like “zero” “nada”. Right now, Russia’s economy is crumbling because of the Western sanctions. The damage has been done in both economically and diplomatic relationships.

Yes we all know that the economy can be revived, but building and recovering will take a very, very, very long time.

Reminds me of a quote something like “It takes XX years to build reputation and trust, only to lost it in just less than 24 hours”. This is what Putin did to himself, and he paid a big price. Karma is gonna haunt him for the rest of his life.

People do not realize the lasting impacts of these type of sanctions. It already destroyed a big portion of their income, and Ruble worths a lot less because of it, the most devalued currency all of a sudden and I mean like more than Argentina and Venezuela and all that. Even Zimbabwe lost less value than Ruble during this period.

So it already hurt, but the longer it goes, the more it is hurting them and there is no way that they could just recover and be better right after the sanctions are lifted off neither. It would have a good impact at first but those deals need to be restrict again. All of this results with maybe years of terrible economy for them already guaranteed today, gets worse every day it goes on.
