I suppose this will make a world much easier place for everyone. Both the US and Russia will get a clear enemy, they will keep trying to fight for years, dozen of years, without any achievable success, because any fail you can easily transform in temporary lost in a long run game. If I were the US president or EU, I'd definitely helped them for build this a new internet iron curtains, because it will definitely limit their progress and stuck a new mallow of "replace everything from the west". It's a just basic economy theory of Adam Smith: bigger taxes, bigger obstacles for intonational trade, hurt in the first time your own economy. So I'm definitely support this, lets make russia weak!

The thing is that after USSR has disappeared Russia is not on par with US anymore, neither economically nor technically. So "will keep trying to fight" will end much earlier than anticipated by many.
