great question. everything produced is destroyed. all the supply lines are not there to build an healthy economy. it looks good in the short term, but it doesn't improve russian standard of living or raise the economy. it essentially cannibalizes itself.   it's all a matter of perspective. would you agree that the purchasing power in russia compared to america is weaker today than what it was 10 or 20 years ago?   sorry to disappoint, i'm ethnically swedish. i hate mutts and arabs here just as much as you do.
