The future is going to look something like this: The Russian economy is going to get obliterated under the increasing weight of economic sanctions and self imposed bans on foreign goods, entering siege mode, and eventually a likely internal coup d'état will take place once Putin's inner elite recognise how much of a nut job bent on restoring the USSR he is.
I am sure of one thing completely though: there won't be any sort of mass resistance to the government. The Russian people seem to be too accustomed to authoritarian governments and easily swayed by the promises of not caving in to the evil West and finding the "unique Russian way".

Ladies and gentlemen, for every one of you (And us, and admittedly sometimes me) who have lamented the fact that the average American has the geopolitical awareness of your average wood louse, I would like to present this thread as a gift to show that it's really just dumb everywhere.

You're in for a lifetime of disappointment if you think people aren't being stupid all over the world all the time.
