could, but won't
🤔
he can, will and does
true market
black market
overworld
underworld
as long as he is in power, all will go well
more likely the industry there will collaspe, rubles will be worthless yet again, and he will focus on spending to defend himself and those in power
meh
after oil what do they have there?
Russia is self sufficient enough, they are not Venezuela my dude
look what decades of embargo did to Cuba, absolutely jackshit
Castros still in power
can't cause a loss to people who had nothing though
the russian people are hardy enough to survive too, without killing everyone
murica would have mass die off
they can survive on vodka alone
muricans would die en masse if they lost power for 1 week
*emp and other tech killing event*
when you maintain control via expression of power, which has high costs of maintance, then once that structure loses it's payments and stuff to spend that on (like food) then these types of control fail fast and hard
good, then they would have more soylent
**it's people**
i think you underestimate the rural power in russia
you underestimate just how hardy and nationalist your average russian is
have a russian mother in law btw
coal surpluses
natural gas
plus they work with niorth korea
they know how to maintain on the lowest possible amouint of supply
she had her entire life savings voided multiple times
as long as they are food sovereign they are good to go
because the currency was replaced overnight
and Russia is still around
they lost a lot of their territories as the soviet union collapsed under non payment of it's armed forces, and an encroachment of islam on their southern border along with a looting of all it's weapon storage facilities
lost/let free with the expectation that they'd be insulary
if ukraine hadn't been infultrated by america and had orcestrated shit witht he orange wave ans tuff, they may still be "free"
I swear whenever I see Tim make a vid he seems to get madder and madder
he's the frog slowly realizing the water is starting to boil
