Collapsing a self sustaining nation doesn't work. It cannot collapse when it still has far more partners. They can only attempt to isolate it. In doing so perhaps it causes internal change. Not the entire point. Nato wasn't prepared to war. Nuclear no. Instead it sought a narrative for its own changes. Renewables quickly. Europe has almost as much danger of splintering, not with Nato holding it together. It like Russia will weather. But what have they created here?

Russia losing, not likely. Literally Russia losing a nuclear base without nuclear war. Because it ousted its president? Hahaha. Europe winning, no. What? Seriously. You're selling Russia will just collapse so Europe can win that shithole the Ukraine, and get a few gas coupons. Because there needs to be a winner. Hahaha.

The winner is by forcing another method.
