Russian soldiers attack Ukraine and committed unspeakable crimes. I understand that not all ukrainians stand above that and show mercy
Russia threatened to cut off gas for 1 month in a row, when its troops were fighting, and dying, and is still not bluffing...
Closing a tap on the pipe must be definitely harder than invading a country.

You say you were a military intelligence officer yet you do not understand nuances and context ? Please follow back the posts and see what I said.

Will NATO presidents and prime ministers go meet Ukrainian military in the war zones just like Kadirov did ?
@sammuel @F-22Raptor @Wood @mmr @Vergennes @Messerschmitt, what do you say now ? Isn't the Ukranian military doing war crimes ? Isn't the Russian reason for the special military operation correct ?
Look at this too.

Well, if ISIS "CLAIMED" responsibility on a bombing, doesn't it means that ISIS "ADMITTED" to be behind the bombing?
Dude, it's simple English..........
First of all, you do know Russia economy is a 1.6 trillion economy (in 2020), with government expense last reported as 38% GDP in 2020 (For those who don't own a calculator, it's 608 billions dollar)
With oil and gas revenue valued at roughly 1.5 billions a day, if the West did not stop the buying of Russian oil and gas (US, Canada, UK and Australia already stopped buying) you are talking about somewhat 547 billions.. And then they don't have a war going on before. And that is if Russia nationalise 100% of the profit from selling oil and gas. Russia don't own the company that drill oil and gas...It's private own by those Oligarch.
The next best Russian export is Wheat, less than 7 billions market a year.
Just because you have some magical believe, it would not magically balance the balance sheet, you are looking at 50 or so billion in the red, and nobody is willing to lend money, last counted, even the Chinese frozen loan to Russian. Where are you going to get that 50 billions? And then there are already 43 billions debt to settle, and they don't take Rouble.
On the other hand, Rouble rebounded because Russia stop trading foreign currency and increased interest rate (Which draw Rouble back into central bank because you cannot sell it and you are encourage to deposit to it) in Financial term, this is a "Freeze" but you cannot freeze it for long because you are essentially taking Rouble out of the market, that does not mean people are not going to need it to trade or buy stuff.
Also, Rouble did not rebounded back to the original level (Today at 1: 0.0096, it was 1: 0.012 before the war) even with this measure, which you don't need a economy degree to know this is serious, because those measure are supposed to support the currency, and they are still somewhere 20% below the value of USD before the war. That mean those measure are not enough to take it back to the level, and the world is expecting another Rouble drop since the west also sanctioned Russian gold, which is the last thing Russia can trade with foreign currency.
What do you expect from yahoo who know nothing about economy.....
It is a lot of typing to just say:
" Yes, Russia will have serious economical consequences as a result of this war, but Russian economy will survive and will not completely collapse. And yes Ruble will lose its value but not to an extent 1$= 1000 Rubles. I was just over dramatizing it ".
