> without Russia any of these goals are senseless

This is an absurd take... Russia emits 4.65% of world output and has been decreasing last year the most out of the top 10 [0]. Could you base your arguments? I'd like to understand where this is coming from.

Here is what I am basing my arguments on:

More generally, if Russia (or any party) has incentive, means, motivation to create climate change, do not be surprised if they actively work to make it happen. Russia can literally light things on fire and come out way ahead.

Ok, but what about the other 95% of emissions. We could just ignore what Russia does and still make a big impact.
