The war would be over in a week.
Think about it.
$5,500 per year per capita income for Russians.
You couldn't live in a tent in the woods here for that kind of income.
Asylum, and jobs.

(8,647 posts)And remember, the US and the USSR each had about 250,000,000 people in the '60's; the US now has 330,000,000, but Russia only 150,000,000. The average Russian male has a life expectancy of 52 years of age. The average Russian has lost half of his/her salary in the 20 plus years Putin has been running the country. Russia's industrial output is about the same as that of Italy, which has less than one third of Russia's population. Whereas Italy produces world famous labels, brands and products, Russia produces tanks and bombs. Most of which are by the side of the road awaiting parts. Yes, Russia is what that world-renowned jetsetter Donald J Trump refers to as a 'shithole.' And while Putin has the entire Russian military capability transferred to Russia's western borders, I'd not be surprised it the Chinese sneak up on Russia's eastern and southern borders and turn Moscow into a rump state.
