Reply to comment by ScratchUrBalls in Returning to normal relations with Russia would be a mistake, says Lithuanian president by hieronymusanonymous

If Venezuela or Iran or North Korea or Cuba or Turkmenistan hasn’t collapsed, I don’t see how Russia will.

Live worse and poorer, yes, but I have faith in the mafia state keeping full control of the sheep that decided not to leave.

Yeah, sanctions hurt, but they don't generally cause regime change. For a nuclear power, that is only going to come from inside.

Well, 3 of these counteis are already absolute shitholes, that can't project power anywhere and Iran is having big problems right now.

Maybe Russia won't collapse, but it will become a powerless state with non-existent economy, that doesn't decide anything outside its borders.

Putin say goodbye on New Year's Eve, install replacement, and be happy about its life.

West will gladly reset relations with Russia on next day.
