Which means Nato is uniting and arming itself against Russia. Which is, long term, a disastrous move for Russia.
Russia has, long term, lost a massive market, and gained no new ones, which is a huge hit to its industrial/commercial development.
What matters most in development economics is having a market. It is the main prize. Thats how China did it, when it got US MFN status over 30 years ago.
The more Russia makes threats the more it cuts its own throat.
“Which means Nato is uniting and arming itself against Russia.”
Doesn’t sound like NATO’s largest European military is doing that, since Turkey has been BUYING weapons from Russia and WILL NOT permit anymore expansion of NATO.
Too bad the Neocons can’t kick Turkey out!!!
