Most foreginers give a total shit about Russia, if they alive or will be dead. The foreginers including the westernes, only care about that russians stay in their country and not bother it's neighbours.

a russian collapse will be problematic to the world. Must be a gradual transiton of power, from current shady old soviet guys to a bit less shady guys. That's about the best we an hope for the coming 50 yeras. A lot of shady guys in line, before a okay person who are long down the line.

@csvickers151 A full collapse will be unlikely. The country is selfsufficent to a large degree with basic needs as food, clothing, raw materials and so on. Even if foregin trade do slow down and many educated people move away, the majority of the country will possible move along. Regarding the current conflict, it's kind of possible to understand that a part of the russian society feels worried about NATO, thinking of episodes as the bombing of Yugoslavia and Libya. Yogulsavia was possible quite needed, but Libya one likely better could do without. That did not helped the situation towards the Russians. Our western politicians are not totally innocent in current situation, sadly. But nothing else to try do the best of it, not letting the current situation escalate

@csvickers151 Good question.I've not studied the circumstances around that, but it was for sure a special idea. If it actually had happened I think it would not lasted for long before disagreements, possible. Cultural differences too big and US and Russia fighting about being the 'lead dog'

@glennmartin6492 Got no idea, frankly. But will say it's healthier than burgers.

@desertor7z889 NATO troops stay on their side of the border. NATO and the west is not danger to the ordinary Russian people. The russian leadership and the rich elite of russia is afraid of loosing their power and money

@desertor7z889 Sorry about your good friend Gaddafi, he just had bad luck.

Don't think there will be a new Putin, able to sit for 10-20 years. For a long time at least. Will most likely be a long line of shady guys that manage to stay a few years in charge at the time. Likely much internal fighting about power, and hopefully less time and energy to bother the world around

and prepare for some millions of refugees. Good luck, to us. No, will likely not collapse, they are pretty selfsufficient with the basics as food, cloths, raw materials. We better like a less shady guy in Moscow, that is our best hope. Lost of shady guys in line.
