True, but the aspiration of any national bourgeoisie is to become an international bourgeoisie.

To that end all the Western bourgeoisie needed to do was let their Russian counterparts in on the good times; which didn't happen and we're living through the consequences.

The smartest thing for them to do now is reverse course and welcome Russia into the fold as they should've done in the 90s instead of treating the country like another resource colony.
