Oil is only a small percentage of the Russian economy, so it’s pretty funny how people who guzzle propaganda still think Russia is a gas station with nukes.
Vulnerable to what exactly, Russia has already pivoted its economy away from the west and towards Asia. If Russia was vulnerable at any time that was during the period of transition during the first year. What we’re seeing now is that Europe needed Russia in order for its economy to function, but Russia doesn’t need Europe. If you still can’t wrap your head around this, then keep on coping while you still can.
Vulnerable to Russia’s inability to protect it’s airspace or protect it’s infrastructure from internal adversaries. It’s not a problem that Putin can just throw more meat at. It requires the kind of functional technical solutions that Russia has failed at beyond even the expectations of even someone as blinded by western propaganda as me.
