Russia's existence depends on it's resources and few allies it has left

Then maybe Putin shouldn't be invading (Ukraine) and refusing obligations towards (Armenia) potential allies, and fucking his resource export by walling the country off the rest of the world.
Of course Putin shouldn't be pussyfooting around. He should take that forsaken country over just like that, and change it on all the maps so that it is part of Russia proper.



everyone in EU is dumbfounded about this great American plan, tons of dead people, EU in recession, UA will be back under RU sphere of influence

Ukraine will not "be back under RU sphere of influence". The cost of that remains to be seen but your assessment of what EU "thinks" is absurd. Aside from Orban, the rest of Eastern Europe knows very well what Russia's sphere of influence means and that giving Putin (part of) Ukraine won't stop him from wanting part of Poland, Germany, or Portugal. That's an existential threat.
Most people don't realize that when Russia gets finished, there won't be any Russian sphere of influence. Rather, it will be something like the old USSR back again... threatening the whole world with forced domination if they step out of line... like the US and NATO are doing right now.



Edit: Markets opened higher on a day Russia announced mobilization. If market is of any indication (as it has always historically been), no one is pricing in any serious escalation or mobilization of "western" economies to war footing.

Don't quit your troll farm to become a market analyst just yet.

Right, because the USD is sliding off the cliff. As many advances as it makes, they are followed directly by declines... that are catching up. Wait a little while, so that you won't waste time learning about debt backed money... as the USD fails, and we go back on Putin's gold standard, which is gold-backed money rather than the current US money, which is debt backed money.

If Putin only understood how the US debt backed money system works, he would laugh at how easy it is to crush it.

Cool
