Re: The policy is not exactly isolationist

That is different from the Russian economy which is significantly less dependent on external connectivity.

I beg to differ. Crime needs an economy to derive its parasitic existence from. Selling cabbages grown by Russian peasant Vlad to Russian peasant Dmitiri doesn't generate the excess economic value for much crime.

Absent gas revenues, the Russian state is bankrupt. But I must confess a sneaking admiration for the way Vlad Putin plays the shameless baddy, happily murdering people in other countries because he thinks there will be no reprisals. Then I look at Theresa May, and I too think "there will be no reprisals".
