You may want the Russian economy to fail, Mark; but I don't see any reason as to why Russians, with: an NHS; state-funded education and low cost energy and transport would want that.
While thousands of miles from Eastern Europe there is a country: with over $33 Trillion national debt; that somehow still finds money to keep funding foreign wars (when there are people living on the street); with what amounts to tribal warfare between the supporters of two right-wing parties, both backed by profit seeking corporations (some that don't even pay tax there).
I think you might be believing their publicity, system working send more money?! Yes there are dark days ahead; here... and just printing money won't solve this, any ideas?
I'm not an economist, but I have lived and worked in: the UK; America; USSR; China (even "darkest" Africa) and I have to tell you that Western metrics are highly unreliable in the wider world.
For example, USSR (without the benefits of capitalism), put the first space station in orbit; amassed a large nuclear arsenal and was largely autonomous behind the "Iron Curtain"; while currently there is nothing Russia needs or wants from the American oligarchs, except for them to "stay in their lane"; stop messing around on their borders and remove NATO missile bases.
The corporations that moved into Ukraine to take control of agriculture and a gas pipeline might claim they were just there to maximize shareholder profit; but that's not the whole truth...
All this talk about the $/Rb rate; but that's largely redundant (American policy makers are driving countries away from the Dollar); while trying to compare an internationally traded "commodity" such as the $; £ and Euro, with a domestic soft currency such as the Rouble or Yuan; is like trying to compare chalk with cheese... Did the "strength" of the dollar against the Rouble make any difference to you? It's pretty much the same for Russian and Chinese citizens; the global currency markets and share prices hardly feature in most people's lives; while Russia is more than self sufficient in: grain; gas; oil; coal; fertilizer; iron ore... etc. So these sanctions did nothing except inconvenience Europe (perhaps the plan all along). While all these war America funds is starting to create a lot of hostility amongst the general public as public money is diverted who knows where? (The "tax havens" are bulging).
I believe we are on the wrong side of history; or rather our leaders who want to play "the Great Game", while the economy here and now is in a dreadful state. If you want to destroy the Russian economy see if you can get Russia to join the European Union (EU); that should do it. Otherwise I think you're barking up the wrong tree... Now Western policy makers want to fire missiles at Russia and claim it's Ukraine (those in the know, simply don't believe that...). Firing missiles at a nuclear superpower; trying to lecture them about economics, or land war in Europe; it's farcical and with just the loans and rebuilding contract to fight for I expect America will move on to it's next target (if there's not a world war). Since Russia and China are technologically driven, while America and the EU are debt driven; I think I know who is the future. In short the Russians have no reason to bring down Moscow and every reason to avoid money-grubbing America.
