I think John McCain, US Senator, made a statement like that in 2015 in The Week, "Look, Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country," McCain said. "It's kleptocracy. It's corruption. It's a nation that's really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important."

The person who said Estonia was somehow 2nd fiddle because of banking with Norway (actually mostly Sweden), should maybe study that a little bit. Let us assume that Estonia is run by people intelligent enough to link their banking with Norway. In such a case, we ought to look at Norway and ask, what did they do with their oil windfall? Did they do what Russia has done with theirs? Nope. They gave it to the people. In Norway. The Norwegian federal fund from oil is now worth $275,000 per Norwegian citizen, banked to the benefit of every citizen of their country. Norway is the most stable economy in the world. Banking there would be the best bet for any small and emerging country. Banking in Russia, where they have the exact same oil windfall, not so much.

A bit of information for any Russian’s that might read these comments as this won’t be told on their news:- The UN recognized the authenticity of a video in which the occupiers killed a Ukrainian soldier for the words “Glory to Ukraine” The UN also considers the video where Ruzzian soldiers cut off a Ukrainian’s head with a knife to be authentic. In total, the organization reported 6 more extrajudicial executions of Ukrainian military personnel. Also, the report of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights mentions the bad treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war. In particular, they were forced to deliver ammunition and other things to Ruzzian positions through minefields and under fire. They were also forced to take wounded Ruzzians from the battlefield.

The Russia sovereignty of Ukrainian Crimea that became part of Russia after Russia held a referendum in the neighbouring country Ukraine. Its the main principle of UN charter that any country can hold elections in other countries. And then Russia just demanded that two regions got independent. Also a principle of UN charter that countries can just decide for other countries what parts should be independent. But Ukraine reduced and Russia needed to invade and annexe even more territories.

Russia has something like the fourth or fifth least population density (and vast natural resources), and yet they expend their economic and human resources to occupy and expand into more economically prosperous regions like Ukraine.

I used to watch these interview in bewilderment at what I thought was Russian delusion. Now, I am mostly saddened because I see Russians struggling so hard to give meaning to their lives and to their country, looking to find some pride where there is none, and grasping desperately for normalcy when the feeling of impending doom is lurking. It must be difficult to say things you don't believe in and have to convince yourself you do. Russians must become bipolar to be safe!

It has taken decades, in some cases a century, for companies like Daimler AG, Apple, Google, Intel, Airbus, Samsung, Bayer etc the reach the level of skill, expertise and know-how they have today. Even if there was no brain drain, it will take decades before Russia can produce anything near the standatd of technology they now have to import. Ever heard of a Russian computer or mobile phone?

He meant the future...

Russian main and initial problem is gerontocracy: old people ruling and applying old "solutions" for a world that has already changed. Russia could be a modern developed economy because it has things that by themselves could propel the country without much effort. Also Russia has a demographic crisis, that alone is more problematic than whatever paranoia that it held against its old Cold War enemies: Each soldier (and emigrated person) that Russia loses, it will never, ever, recover (that's what a NEGATIVE birth rate does for any country). Russia is not alone in this, but Europe, whether willing or unwillingly, is flooding itself with immigrants (that, yes, they also carry some deep problems, but at least they can bet on some kind of youth). To the aforementioned point: Russia still tries to apply policies that were thought out for the Soviet Union (or worse, the Russian Empire) and NOT the current "big country" that Russia is today, this failure also leads the rulers to take the wrong steps (it bluffs so much and leads its own population to have a mislead view of grandeur that doesn't pay attention to all the little details needed to fix the problem: every hole in the sinking boat makes water). Russia's rulers (plural) also are more worried on maintaining their own power than propelling the possible diverse economies of its immense territory lest these territories get ideas of autonomy or secession: the price is two really wealthy cities in the entire country and a miserable countryside by design. Again, by design, as a way to control all the regions with the money that Moscow gives (another price for not having a good, honest conversation of what kind of country Russia can be). Well, corruption deserves its own chapter but other countries have endemic corruption yet they found ways to, even then, build something in spite of the rot. Russia suffered a brain drain way before the war, the war only deepened this problem. Russia also tried to play the "I also can be a superpower" like China, India and others, the thing is that the others have done (with different degrees of success) the complex economic game, while Russia, other than selling raw materials and a little more, keeps repeating that is huge (though very, very possibly mostly obsolete) Nuclear Arsenal is reason enough. Nowadays (and China understood this, as does India today, etc.) economy makes might. All in all young minds could (conditional) try to being to put Russia on the right track, the problem being that even if that happens, the country would be in a dire state on many levels (and I repeat this because it's important: demographics, having young people, is key for any economic development and Russia is plummeting).
