    No I think the article is making a pretty reasonable assumption that if Russia does not collapse, they will rebuild their army to the level they have historically maintained it.

    You’re basically saying “no way they don’t collapse” but that seems a pretty large speculative leap.

      No I’m not, I’m saying no way they wont go into a multiple year recession. And they MAY collapse as a single nation because of it.
      There is no doubt their economy is seriously cracking already.
