ORAC, would like to be giving a like for your post, however, the background issue is that the breakdown of the RF will be a disaster for Russia, (on the good side of the ledger, richly deserved, however, it is going to give far wider instability and uncertainty to the food supplies from the Former Russian Federation, FRF (AKA CIS, AKA former USSR) Anyone who has a need for food from the FRF is going to be needing a new supplier for a period, the only sure thing is that as the whole bog of Moscow's party goes down the drain, output other than to the sewers will decline. With China already facing a potential of famine conditions in the next year, the breakup is going to make some weird stuff happen. Makes it hard to "like" when there is a lot of suffering that is going to come down the sewer pipe that is the current RF as it becomes the FRF.
And that is without having to deal with another 20 odd nuke states that know with certainty they cannot rely on Moscow to keep its word, and they sure can't rely on the West to protect them if the disarm their own nuke arsenals. Not after the west reneged on the security commitment it made with Ukraine that was dishonoured in 2014.
