Not necessarily, europe is not the belly of the world, nor is the us.
If russia cannot sell to europe then most assuredly india or cina will be happy to buy.

Here is possibly the most interesting quote of this thread...
Majority of Russia's population is in the west, the east is fairly sparse. Majority of China's population is to the east, right next to sparsely populated eastern russia.
Wholly and solely at a guess, China will be more than happy to buy from Russia until Russia makes drilling and mining there economically viable.
As soon as that happens, the world will see a funny case of deja vu, but it will be the russians crying foul, and the chinese annexing territory.

Thats why it would be better that Russian would concentrate on the Chinese border instead of the NATO one. The other is a real threat, the other is paranoia.
Better yet, reform Russia economically and culturally to become a thriving part of the West, an ally equal to US.
Pitty such a visionary person hasnt emerged and Russia will most likely see another revolution and possibly reduced to even smaller pieces.
