i would also like to understand the Ukrainian economy. my guess is it would be akin to something like the economy of Iowa if it declared itself separate from the United States, banned all economic associations with Chicago, and started buying weapons from a right-wing militia of Sovereign Citizens based out of Alberta using a line of credit extended from some bank in the Panama Papers.

As if Iowa's economy would ever survive the loss of the perennial presidential campaigns propping it up.
