Replying to Avatar Peter Todd

If Russia wins the end of the war means Russia is spending far less money on war, and has the benefit of brand new territories full of loot to steal. They'll have lots of money to pay back everything multiple times over.

Wars of conquest can be extremely profitable if you win.

That's why crushing Russia's economy is so important.

Your last sentence is a non-sequitur. Why is crushing Russia's economy important?

Obviously because 1) crushing their economy ensures they can't repeat the process, invading another country, 2) it ensures that the invasion is in fact unprofitable, 3) crushing their economy now will certainly end the invasion.
