  3. Russia doesn't make consumer goods. How would they sell them? Sanctions won't allow it. Russia makes strategic things. Like nuclear reactors, nuclear icebreakers, nuclear submarines. Airplanes, helicopters both military and civilian. Trucks and all kind of vehicles, military and civilian. Space ships etc.

  4.  @zulubeatz1  How would they run out of parts if they make every part for these aeroplanes. The Soviet planes had pretty good record. The Russians know how to make planes of all kind.

  6. Trust me economic success will be less and less measured with the production of washing machines, TVs , even cars. A lot of countries can make these things now days. Not just the West anymore. The future is not Mercedes or BMW. China is the largest car exporter now.

  7. Yes Russia never was and is not to this day developed like the west. And yet the west never managed to take over and colonize Russia. I don't know how to explain this. "A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. " Churchill had the intellectual honesty to say it.

  13. Well our sanctions will force them to go back and start producing, like in the Soviet times. I guess the sanctions are bearing fruit. Just not for us, but for them.
