Why do you think you're right?

i am going against the grain on this one. i foresee stimulus, but more importantly, resilience and adaptability in their economy.

Why do you think you're right?

im putting the odds here at near zero because i think the russian military is so beaten down that they dont stand a chance against NATO. at this point i think the pole or even the swis could take the russians they are so depleted.

Why might you be wrong?

i could be underestimating the ambition of putin (and his grasp of the reality of his military's situation)..
