If you don't know, #Russia has an annual #economy forum

So we're already in a joking mood

They had a 'Russia 2050' report

3 scenarios for 25 years out:

1. inertial: "American and Chinese hegemony"
2. bad: Russia loses the war and is "colonized"
3. good: "ideological war" victory, nukes are used for some reason, Kyiv/ Odesa/ Kharkiv/ "and so on" annexed and the #EU disintegrates I guess just for funsies

There's better amateur fan fiction conventions
