Yep, the West should think what will happen if Russia supplies the West's enemies with millions of drones.
The "childish delusion" that they could ship drones to the Ukraine unpunished will end one day.

I was at a wedding in Yerevan last week and got to talk to a lot of Russians. It's clear the country has collapsed already - it's going to act fine on life support for another five years, but it's already hollow. The best knowledge workers left. The birthrate has fallen through the floor. There's no future.

Never underestimate the Russian people's ability to suffer.

These are all emigrants, they tell each other (and you) these stories to make themselves feel better.

Unpunished is an odd choice of words.
Why shouldn't "the West", actually many separate autonomous countries, be able to sell to whoever they want?
Literally nobody is interested in invading Russia. Nobody wants any part of that shitshow.
Russia needs to start worrying about their own internal problems, which are both significant and numerous.

I get that you're being cute, but please don't think that last note is what I think! :)
Expats are usually right about their home countries - they're the ones with the most data points.

How so?
They don't live in the country and don't have a clue about what life is like there now. They read Western media and "opposition" news sites (living off State Department and EU grants) and those sources validate their decision to leave Russia.
There are over million of Ukrainian expats in Russia and the ones I know hate post-2014 Kiev regime with passion. Is that the case where expats are right?
