The Russians could make a heck of a lot more money by privatizing their industries and selling more peaceful goods to Western nations.

I agree. But what to do now? DO you economist?
It happened that westren nation needs ONLY russian resources but russian machinary is aout of competition. But russian military machinary has some market.
I may understand that for you maybe it is better if russian economy will go dead. But not for Putin. He has to ensure that russian products sold for hard currency. And hence russian workers got thier salaries. You probably don't care about russian workers and thier familities. But Putin as russian president has to care.
Again. If you want that Russia won't sell her military products to some customers. Then offer to Russia new market so that russian workers won't suffer from your wish. Then it would be fair.
But noiw you just wnat of Russia to shut down her businesses and nothing give in turn. This is no ay to do business.
