Obviously.

I think Russia collapsing back to the "Second World" economy is the short-term. After Putin? Who knows what comes after Putin.

The Russian people seem to be suffering from a neurosis caused by national defeat, humiliation, and slow death. What happens when a superpower faces demographic death?

skin my view may not be popular , Putin and the Russian people actually looked up to the US .

After the 2nd world war and Stalin , Russian people had had enough of the madness . That is why they allowed it to be dismantled .

They might have been expecting some kind of aid to help them transition to an economy that creates jobs , invents new technologies . Something the whole world looked up to America for . Respect us respect our borders was said . Help us develop was probably only heard at the Presidential level .

Instead the US and the western world spun into anti Russian insanity .

As you say a Nuclear War is in no ones best interests .
