The worst thing that could happen to them now is if they actually prevail in taking Ukraine. It will be like the proverbial dog that succeeds in catching the car. Now there in stuck with administrating a country full of people that despise them.

They'll do fine in administering the portions they captured, which is what they set out to do.

The ruble is virtually worthless

Only when measured against the USD.

and their oil and gas industry will have to be almost completely rebuilt if it ever comes back at all.

Oil & Gas will continue to rise in value. It will be worth extracting.

Time will tell.

Only when measured against the USD.

Or any other currency, or world traded commodity.

Only in Russia would somebody think that a currency has value all by itself.
