> russia is already locked out of it and growing their economy faster than germany this is because russia has entered into a war economy: their economy is experiencing growth, fast growth at that, but those spikes are from people making tanks, bombs, fuel, bullets, etc.. those things however are consumed in the war effort, people die, and then the economy goes down, followed by another period of growth that was smaller than the last one. russia's economy isn't going to magically collapse, but every year the war goes on their economy permanently contracts and shrinks a little bit - either because of the accruing casualties (whether from palettes of corpses or bus-loads of cripples coming home) fucking with their demographics or from the fact that they're spending all their gdp on drones, tanks, and vehicles, that will ultimately be reduced to useless scrap. this also isn't taking into account that eventually the war will end and win or lose: russia will still be sanctioned by the west, they'll be responsible for millions of crippled dependents, and any land they'll have taken will be a cratered wasteland of land-mines, corpses, trenches, and undetonated munitions.
