Edit: Egypt willing to use rubles to trade with Russia https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2022/06/egypt-plans-use-ruble-trade-russia
Edit 2: Sri Lanka too wants that oil https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/south-asia/bankrupt-sri-lanka-seeks-discounted-russian-oil/articleshow/92472265.cms
Edit 3: Mongolia also getting that oil https://www.russia-briefing.com/news/russia-mongolia-trade-up-30-looking-to-expand.html/

Worst case scenario: Russia economy is in recession for 10 years before getting back to 2021 levels of growth. This is worst case scenario right now. Just as bad as European Union. So not a big deal. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/06/17/russian-economy-faces-10-years-of-recession-without-reforms-sberbank-ceo-a78031

Conclusion: Russian economy is secure as it can shift all it's import needs to China from the west while moving all it's exports to the same nation. It also has increasing trade with Egypt, India, and Mongolia. That's enough countries for a trillion dollar nation to keep rising up in economic terms or at least stay aloft.
The Mongolia, China, Russia integration system is already in play and will likely win out. Russia is safe and can only be cut off from the cutting edge. Beyond that whatever the Chinese develop becomes accessible to the Russians as trade partners. China is already a more developed economy than Russia which means that Russia has constant access to better tech to work with. Sorry westoids but you can only make your club exclusive, but you can no longer stop growth of those outside of the club.
Edit 4: Russian inflation is twice the current rate of US inflation. That is the primary downside. However the Russians are more used to getting economically fricked than the US citizen.

Edit 5 : Russia finally defaults on it's debts after getting away with it for months at the last second. As per article - " But given the damage already done to the economy and markets, the default is also mostly symbolic for now", so trade with China continues as normal. Debt defaults matter when neutral countries have to decide whether they want to invest in you or not. Countries that favor you will invest in you irrespective of debt status as per my understanding. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/russia-defaults-on-foreign-debt-for-first-time-since-1918/articleshow/92479426.cms
Edit 6: Russia still in a position to turn Ukraine into a crater on the Earth if it goes full artillery strikes don't care about the cities or infrastructure mode. https://eurasiantimes.com/russias-200-year-old-artillery-first-doctrine-that-devastated-ukraine/
Russia supplying Belarus with more weapons systems thus guaranteeing an ally right inside the EU that is hostile to the west and is now better armed. https://www.wionews.com/world/russia-will-supply-belarus-with-missile-systems-capable-of-carrying-nuclear-weapons-491833
Ukraine says missile attack came from Belarus which means things just got worse for Ukraine getting even more surrounded. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/ukraine-reports-massive-attack-from-belarus-3100041
Russia achieved one of it's key strategic goals when it took over severodonetsk completely. So far they aren't losing just getting extremely slowed down. They still have the bodies to throw though. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61945914
Serbia still close enough to Russia to secure new gas deals with them well into the war. That's two hostile to the EU players in the west. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/29/serbia-ignores-eu-sanctions-secures-gas-deal-with-putin
Even Turkey is neutral to Russia. https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/turkey-defends-its-neutral-stance-on-kyiv-says-sanctioning-russia-to-harm-its-economy-articleshow.html
Hungary continuing to oppose Russian oil bans and other sanction measures taken by the EU. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/30/eu-to-discuss-watered-down-oil-embargo-on-russia-as-hungary-holds-firm.html
Russia is still active in Syria participating in military drills there which shows that the west did not even succeed in their goal of getting the Russians to leave Syria even in the middle of a devastating ongoing war. https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2022/06/26/Syrian-and-Russian-paratroopers-conduct-joint-military-drill
Conclusion 2: Russia is not isolated at all currently. It has only been kicked out of the US and European Union main markets. Beyond that it is still well connected to the rest of the middling economies of the world and holds great sway there, well enough to continue to thrive in the long run.
The final question then is will Russia win in Ukraine in a long all out war, and the answer is likely yes if their economy cannot be fully crashed but only slowed down. Russia will just keep importing more people from Belarus even if the population begins to collapse.
Edit 7: @genuineloicensed this is not an agendapost you are a shit reporter if you checked my history you would know I post both for an against on various issues. I have no side thus I cannot agendapost go frick yourself you biased ninny.
@JewTwo I am not an AI I am a very smart and good looking human whose competencies can be mistaken as superhuman AI or demigod equivalents to normies such as yourself. Have faith, I am not above the people, just better than them.

Too sick to care about bait, especially this much.
Sorry
@Sasanka_of_Gauda, 
@idio3 y'all have to deal with poorcel version of..whatever below text will end up being.
'yadda yadda yadda, that's a lot of text, from sources OP only selected, because they are fully, or in parts OP used - terribly one sided'
'should I link to Ukraine MoD twitter now?'
' the line about Belarus and importing belarussians made me laught'
' Russian economy will never go fully to the shits, until it has natural resources to sell and asian partners? Shocking observation.' / ( Sarcasm btw)
'why is OP so certain that China wouldn't dance the 'uncertain and undecided' jig about being russia's trade partner'
There's probably more, but I'm

They are, but not in the way you think they are, lol. The sources are nearly all Angloid, with the exception of a couple of Indian ones quoting Angloids.

I told ya, I'm too fricked up to check them, I saw BBC and CBS and meh...
So this is particularly low effort answer, especially first two lines, I'd throwaway even if OP linked to 'newsblogtotallynotpaidofbyrussianfederation. net'
To go into serious posting mode - ' asian countries which traded oil with russia before, and has basically no other viable choices, decide to further trade with Russia' - is not some shocking take.
Is OP implying that he thinks that euroheads and burgerland didn't think about this before starting sanctions?
@idio3?

I think the implication was that it would be too slow of a process and far more damaging to Russia than it was in reality. See Iran, Venezuela. Russians turned out to just be forced into a discount of like $20 below Brent, which still makes them far more money than what they did before the war, due to it increasing the total price of oil.

I might be misunderstanding this because of my condition or the wrote up, but is OP, based on their sources, claim that belarussian army might be prepared and go into offensive warfare?

Yeah, that's another bit of bullshit. I really don't understand why angloids are suddenly acting like Russian planes launching strikes from Belarusian airfields is somehow news. They've been doing that since February. Nothing changed. Belarus is not getting into the war unless attacked, and I doubt Ukros are this stupid. 60k extra troops on the northern front is not anything they will choose to suddenly have to deal with, lmao.
