Russian Economic Collapse Probable Path - Econ Lessons

[TexasTowelie]

Geopolitical maneuvering, negotiated diplomacy, military action, internal rebellion, or economic collapse are all potential paths to a Ukrainian victory and a broader triumph for liberty and justice. Among these, I (Me the Monetary economist) argue that Russia’s economic collapse is the most probable, unfolding alongside Ukrainian military operations. This collapse will primarily manifest at the microeconomic level, where household incomes fail to cover rising monthly costs. I point out wages and cost of living in Russia based on user input prices. The current wage-price relationship is exerting increasing pressure on the average Russian consumer, signaling economic instability. Unlike aggregate macroeconomic indicators reported by central banks, which may be distorted or delayed, platforms like Numbeo provide a more reliable way to track real-time economic negative cashflow of Russian citizens.

1. *IF* Russia were to collapse, and Putin loses his status and power,

how would that affect Trump? Wouldn't it be as if he lost a major sponsor?
