Fact is, the West has >20x Russia’s GDP, and that’s being kind to Russia - the numbers are before the sanctions that have led to serious problems with the Russian economy. How many Russian companies do you see internationally? The big players in the international markets are Procter and Gamble, Caterpillar, Google, Microsoft, Merck, Pfizer, Apple, Chase, Citibank, Tesla, UPS, etc, all of them American. What Russian or Chinese company comes close to these behemoths?
