If the Russian goal was to watch the US crash it’s economy, deplete it’s store of arms, have Russia forge closer ties to China, and provide impetus for an expanded BRICS while taking very real steps to remove the dollar as the world reserve currency, they are absolutely kicking ass.
I would imagine Putin is sitting back in his unmortgaged country watching with amusement while Khrushchev's prediction comes true. "We will so weaken your economy until you'll fall like over ripe fruit into our hands". We are writing hot checks while Russia is paying cash.
Russia defaulted on it's sovereign debt. Nobody wants their Rubble Rubles.
Name a any significant cash payments from Russia to any other country.
India buys Orc oil in Rupees and the ChiComs buy Orc oil in RMB.
Inflation in Russia is double the USA.
