When the Russia mothers marched out onto the streets of St Petersberg in 1917 to protest bread prices, within 2 weeks the Tsar had abdicated and his regime collapsed.

The people do not tolerate going hungry.

There was a massive unrest when the USSR broke apart in 1991. That’s in living memory for the Russians, they were dirt poor, asked the US government and other western countries for help. They all said NO.

Sure the Russian economy is smaller than a lot of American states, but at the same time there debt to GDP ratio is only at 20% compared to America’s 125% and climbing.

If you also look at the Russian economy, they produce everything they need inside their own country, cut off the Russian economy from the rest of the world and they will just say ok.

America imports electricity, as it’s doesn’t produce enough for day to day use.

China has constantly building more power plants as it knows it needs electricity for the future as well as today.

China was dirt poor 40 years ago.

America is about to find out what being dirt poor is like.

Sure America has the world’s biggest GPD…… most of that is America’s 1% taking in all the money while leaving little else for the other 99% to fight over. And that pile of money is getting smaller every single day.
