      The russian economy is not only tied to but dependent on the wests import of natural resources.

      How in the world did you figure russias economy is not tied to “our” (I’m european, but the us and eu economies are all intertwined) economy? “Famously” so too?

      If USA says don’t buy russian oil or you’ll get secondary sanctions (e.g. you can’t trade with the US) then india, china will (and are) stop buying russian oil. This is what is actually happening by the way.
