Maybe.

But this is really a short-term\long-term thing.

Russia has done a lot of long-term damage to itself.
The damage to the west is shorter term and frankly they can better afford to absorb that damage.

Lastly, Russia has much bigger problems. Ukraine is a daily drain, a quagmire. How long is that going to drag on?

It only matters how developed you're, not how you got there.

All our economies at base run from bottom up : resources then manufactured goods then services.

There's a certain pouty-teenager quality to it, isn't there? "We'll see how they like it when I'm not there. They'll beg me to come back, but I'll be all like 'Nuh-Uh, because you were mean', and then we'll see how they like it."

The damage to the West is shorter because its demise will come quicker.

Sounds like a very typical American critique. Except leftist Americans, who are actually trying to turn America into a ****hole country.
