I don't think we're "crushing Russia's economy" at all, actually. We're separating from it. And soon we will from China as well.

What we're witnessing is the end of an era. As Lenin said, "There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen." Lion prides work where there is one dominant male until either it gets too old or a young male gets too strong. Then, in a moment, it all changes. No empire lasts forever.

The US is fiscally bankrupt and has pissed off its opposition too long. It spent a fortune on tanks and missiles, and then technology came and made that all essentially redundant.

My guess? Russia and China (and probably India) will base their currencies on gold. They will want payment for energy, rare minerals, chips, etc. in that gold-based currency. NATO will dissolve and the US will become deeply poor.

Hahaha, I have to ask where you're making this up from? Like no one reasonable aside from 'west haters' and bot accounts would give this a serious line of thought.
