Western media is so delusional. Russia will happily trade with China (biggest economy in the world), and most other countries except a few western ones that matter less and less. Europe is going to freeze and destroy its industry, as it relies completely on Russian energy.
This implies that Russian media is the truth? It lies to it's people, to the west, and judging by the failed invasion, to itself. How it spinning delayed elections, martial law, criminalizing protest? Delusion?
The Europe will allow Russia to sell what they require until they make more secure arrangements. It's a very poor choice to leave your energy in the hands of a belligerent aggressor. In the meanwhile, the sanctions will grind Russia into bankruptcy. Obama tried a soft touch, but Putin didn't get the message. It would have been cheaper stay in your own country.
If you still can't wrap your head around the fact that Europe is more dependent on Russia than the other way around, I really don't know what else to tell you. Life is going to get very hard for you in the near future though.
Very soon we shall see who lives in delusion and who lives in reality. Judging by all the lies that Russia has told, I feel confident. Let's find out.
We will definitely find out soon. Probably within a few months.
Based on understanding basic math and the amount of imports Europe relies on from Russia I feel pretty confident as well. Let's find out.
