@ninpo-2103 Please, Russian average monthly income was $800 BEFORE the economic collapse. They will not be able to afford Apple products anymore, the Russian market imploded.

@scintillam_dei USA secondary sanctions: do business with Russia and you are not allowed to do business with us. They are on the table. Who in their right mind would chose Russians tiny market, and not the giant markets of USA and EU?

@scorpio2330 Russia seems to have miscalculated. They didnt expect to get their central banks assets frozen. And Putin may not care, but his inner circle will. And they may decide they really enjoy their Italian or French villa, and prefer their wife or mother in low to be able to travel to Paris/New York/Milan so they can meet with their love affair. Or being able to send their children into elite schools.

@scintillam_dei How does USA depend on China? It is more of a codependency-

Is is higher or lower than the Ukraine currently has to pay?

@laurooon1777 I doubt I have to hide in a bomb shelter because of it. So no, the costs will be lower.

@scintillam_dei Ok, I rephrase: China depends more on the US than vice versa. China can hurt USA, but USA can destroy China.

@mariclasten9901 NATO surveillance available for Ukrainian forces, so they exactly now where the Russian army is and what it is doing. Also military supplies keeping the Ukrainians armed. Russia underestimated Ukrainian willingness to fight and die. They expected a comedian to be no threat.

Winter is coming to an end, so there still is a chance once the pressure on demand goes down.

Look at energy efficiency. A combustion engine has an efficiency of below 40%, usually even below 20%. This does not count in the losses when you try to turn electricity into bio fuel. Furthermore, fertile land is limited, and growing fuel on it directly competes with food. Bio fuels only make sense when energy density is important (aviation), for anything else, batteries (and maybe hydrogen) are better.

@supergamergrill7734 I am also aware of algae farms as a great source for biomass. Still, mostly in an early stage of development. But even if we ignore the problem of producing biomass for fuel, the issue of abysmal efficiency of combustion engines vs. electric ones remain.

@supergamergrill7734 Electric engines already have efficiencies of +80%. Combustion engines will never reach that due to thermodynamics

@ArawnOfAnnwn Russia published its victory in Ukraine on Sunday, which I see as prove that they planned differently.

@ninpo-2103 Samsung has to be imported, too. If the exchange rate worsens, Samsung gets more expensive, too. Simple. Next year Russia will start to starve. Why? While Russia produces a lot of food, it depends on imports on seeds and young animals. Bad exchange rate equals less money to import, equals less food production. Same goes for all high tech products (all imported), machinery, medical equipment...
