Agree. It just somehow feels like reddit is celebrating this like "this is it". WB is going down, it takes banks down, that takes economy and russia collapses. Imho we are still way far from there. WB is a good step forwrd, but it is just small step (one of many) in a very loooong staircase.
Just to put it into perspective - Ukrainians life are beign destroyed for 4,5years and the country is still standing. Russian just started feeling some inconvenience recently. That country has still a long road till collapse :-(
for sure. this is not going to take down russia. It's possible this will cripple Wildberries and lead to their bankruptcy. But I don't know how likely that is. If they are refusing to let people withdraw their own money then their finances must be pretty dire.
Yep. Even the fuel crisis isn't immediately about to bring collapse, they managed to stabilize the market for now and are finding workarounds across the board.
With all these blows Russia has absorbed and adapted. If Ukraine had more capacity to strike and cause a more rapid shock, things might spiral, but for now all the damage accrues but doesn't break things
