I'm just going to list this stuff out.  Y'all can go research it if you doubt me.  But, you should know what has actually happened to Russia:

• Russia's tech sector has been destroyed.  Not just set back 3 decades, but actually destroyed.
• The Russian Ruble is now worthless.  It is about what the German Mark was after WWI. Yeah, @Sumela, don't give me any ****, it's that bad.
• Bank interest rates are now over 20%, this is how Putin is trying to stop a run on the banks.  It doesn't seem to be working - Russians are very nervous.
• The MOEX (Moscow Exchange) is barely limping along and is only open 50% of the time for trading.  SHUT DOWN 50% OF THE TIME!!!
• Nearly all foreign countries have now pulled out of Russia
• Russia has no access to semiconductors other than those with 20th century technology, which can barely be used in Russian made cell phones.
• No auto parts in Russia - cars dying everywhere.
• No new cars in Russia. 

And, before someone like Sumela says "China is giving Russia everything it needs", ****.  China isn't, won't and can't possibly.
