Russia just did.
- trasz 4y agoNot really :-D Russia did have _some_ economy before the sanctions; now all they are left with is gas. Even China doesn't want to cooperate.

- simonblack 4y agonow all they are left with is gas And wheat, and titanium, and neon, and rocket engines, and metallurgy, and hypersonic technology, and .....
- trasz 4y agoWheat, true. It’s questionable if they can still do much in titanium. Neon is mostly Ukraine, Russian rocket engines are pretty much done (they spent everything they inherited from USSR), and hypersonic appear to be a scam. Here is what they can’t manufacture: electronics. Or planes, or tanks, or even ordinary cars.

- trasz 4y agoAssuming China will want to sell them (and it might not want to; it’s not just Apple that you can’t buy in Russia anymore) - sure. But they doesn’t change the fact that the entire Russian economy is on life support.
