People who are talking bs about how great or normal life in Russia is going to be after this invasion are simply retarded, sorry for the foul language. I will gladly exchange places with people who really think that way but I am pretty sure you will rather keep living in China, US, UK or whatever country you reside in rather than move in to Russia, right? You don't want to bear the consequences because you deep down understand that behind all the bravado the blow to Russian economy is going to be devastating.
We are going to see rouble crashing down further, banking system crumbling, full tech embargo, trade evaporating, and political isolation - QoL will drop drastically. There was nothing genius about Putin's move, it was pure desperation and the result of Russia not having enough clout to solve the problems otherwise. Stop sucking his cock for a moment, and look at situation objectively - he sacrificed average citizen for geopolitical objectives, that's it. Whether you consider these geopolitical goals worthy enough is up to you.
