yes , in many ways they are a land of great oil and gas wealth .....that can support neither their infrastructure at home ...or their own people .....because all the money goes on putins war you are exactly right ....putins choice for aggression has pushed russia back in time
we can only hope that the pressure will either force putin out ....or complete economic collapse ...so that russia can rethink their position in the world and find a more peaceful way ....that serves their people ....and not just their leaders and the oligarchs leaching off the country
