Maybe not politically or militarily, but definitely economically. No way Russia thrives if it cuts itself off from the West.

- alexro 13y agoWill Russia thrive if it doesn't cut off from the West, but the West will continue to ignite unrest in all parts of the world? Feel free to not reply.
- thelettere 13y agoYes, it was the West who paid that guy in Egypt to burn himself alive.
- jessaustin 13y agoI think that was Tunisia?
- jessaustin 13y agoI don't expect Russia to be cut off in the way you describe. I understand their economy to be based largely on petroleum, both too big and too connected to Europe to be sanctioned in the way that e.g. Iran has been. Spring is coming, so there could be a few months of sanctions, but by this fall Russia will probably still be in the Crimea, and will certainly again be heating Europe.
