Imagine the embarrassment if Russia collapses as a result of the war and their thousands of nuclear missiles end up in the hands of random nutters.
Very unlikely that Russia will "collapse." It has food and fuel, which Europe (and now the U.S.) do not. They lack trinkets, McDonald's, and Starbucks. Meanwhile, they are making more profit on selling less oil. Backing the ruble with gold and making arrangements with the REST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD to continue trading. You know, tiny places like China, India, Brazil, and Africa. The unipolar world is coming apart at the Ukrainian seams.
Add onto the fact that Russia still maintained its industrial base while the West has outsourced all of theirs to SEA and China, and things look very different. You can't just shut down factories and industry and start it up again like a car engine which is what most Western politicians believe. You need to maintain supply line of raw materials and a revolving door of journeymen and apprentice workers, something the West has not done for decades.
Europe and to an extent the US is going to be in for a world of financial hurt.
I think "going to be" needs to be replaced with "now experiencing the leading edge."
