    The war ending is going to almost certainly make this worse for Russia (either way!), because suddenly a good chunk of the labor/industry that was/is built up for war production is gonna be almost worthless…

  5. What is it with Russians and their historical tradition of having absolutely horrible leaders?

    Seriously, have they had any good ones in the past century?

  6. Maybe leave Ukraine and you can put your weapons manufacturing infrastructure back to work making civilian goods to drive down prices?
