  1. I can already see it now, Russia builds pipelines to send gas and oil directly to China and India, naturally, China and India will demand Russia pays for it all, after all, Russia desperately needs this, whiles all that goes on, the EU and US will wait till Russia spends billions doing all that works and then get really tough on China and India to not buy from Russia, maybe even sanctions on many of their goods to reduce the benefits of buying cheap oil and gas from Russia, the idea is to get Russia to spend the maximum amount, only to cut them out at the last moment. After all, let's be blunt about all this, we don't honestly think the west is going through all this only for China and India to prop up the Russian economy do we?, no, there's going to be a lot of pressure on China and India and probably even threats if they support Russia too much and the reality is, China and India need the western markets a lot more than they need Russia, so total isolation is on it's way for Russia and that's only going to get a lot worse on Russia once EU nations have diversified enough away from Russia for them to really get tough on Russia. The problem now for Russia is, even if the war was to stop or Putin gets deposed, it's highly unlikely that EU countries will buy oil and gas from Russia after everything that has gone on, at least not in the same amount they have been doing, there won't be any political or public support to go that route any more, Russia has lost these markets long term and for good reason, if a suppler was to threaten you, what are you going to do? You're going to look for alternatives, and that is what Europe is doing. This was a massive miscalculation from Putin that is weakening Russia as a political power, weakening the economy whiles also isolating the country, what a blunder from a man that likes to think he's smart. As for the pain a lot of the world is facing, that's short term of about 2 or 3 years before the markets settle down and they adapt, the damage to Russia is long term and in the process, this could start a revolution in alternative and renewable energy deployment and development over the next decade.
