@iska@mstdn.starnix.network There are no liberals in the Russian government, only opportunists. Ban all imports and you'll wake up in a MadMax-like world sooner than you think. Even for China that is not feasible, modern world is too globalized: you can't live in isolation and still have nice things. The worst part — you can't invite scientists and engineers from all over the world to fix this and attract them with shiny stones and humble comforts of the nineteenth century. People want their modern stuff now.
