depleting their own resources, and destroying their economies

You got it backwards. Russia has lost most of its modern armor, artillery, and a good part of its Black Sea fleet.

And it can't even export refined petroleum products.

The rest of the world economies are growing, and Americans, Europeans, and other workers around the world are getting overtime and bonus pay to build more weapons.

Nations around the world will buy western military equipment in the future, not Russian tanks, planes, missiles, or drones.
