I am showing you GDP under sanctions is not the same as GDP without sanctions for societies that has relied on foreign expertize, investments, trade to enhance there HDI and GDP per capita. They cannot not bear the demographic shock of prolong sanctions.
France is not attracting talent thats why Macron reach out to international partners. IF a country is attracting right talent or home growing it than they dont need to make too much noise. French engineering no longer French when things get complex and modern even in legacy industries like Aerospace ,Autos and Nuclear. These things are easily noticed by wealthy Arabs who spend more on French culture than any one else. Arabs have more Leclerc tanks than French. some of the major component choice in that tank does not install confidence on French doing it alone nor path of newer modification and that was when country still at prime.
Russia engineering is not Soviet engineering foundation was very different from the people at top to worker training to re creation of factories to testing of final product. it takes long trials before product is operationally ready. Soviet has that short cuts
Product like T-14 can never be created in Soviet system nor the so many aviation products that transitioned over from Soviet legacy. This transition away from Soviet legacy at such speed is greatly influenced by Arabs. It goes all the way to culture and society.
There is Russian girl modeling in South Korea. when she went back after sanctions recently to southern Russia to a large cosmetic store she found more variety even after so many brands left and this is a third tier city she was comparing it to Seoul. This kind of choice GDP cannot capture. so things that are happening between cultures is translating into real life implementation. Arabs just need to put headline that we know what is happening. they dont need to put what they know.
