Russia didn’t really have anything going for them besides oil, gas and other natural resources so how would that negatively affect them?
will you destroy the Russian chip sector by flooding them with cheap western components (that they can use to make weapons)?
It would work for Iran:If imported food was much cheaper than homegrown, Iranian farmers would not be able to compete and the country would slip into being dependent on food imports. In addition he whole economy would focus in oil and services
Once that is the case, war becomes impossible, since war nowadays is essential a struggle of industrial production.
