Business Insider: Russia faces revolution and collapse within 10 years after sanctions undermined its economy, many experts tell think-tank
* Many foreign policy experts believe Russia could become a failed state or break up by 2033, a think-tank survey found.
* Russia's economy has been hit hard by the West's Ukraine war sanctions, such as oil export controls.
* China will invade Taiwan within 10 years, most experts forecast in the Atlantic Council survey.
Russia is at risk of becoming a failed state or even breaking up by 2033 as the economy flounders due to the long-term impact of Western sanctions, according to a new survey conducted by the Atlantic Council.
The poll garnered the views of 167 experts on what they think the world will look like in 10 years. While 46% of respondents expect Russia to splinter by 2033, 21% see it as the most likely country to become a doomed state.
"One of the most surprising takeaways was how many respondents pointed to a potential Russian collapse over the next decade — suggesting that the Kremlin's war against Ukraine could precipitate hugely consequential upheaval in a great power with the largest nuclear-weapons arsenal on the planet," the think-tank said.
Moreover, 40% of respondents expect Russia to break up internally by 2033 because of "revolution, civil war, political disintegration."

WNU Editor: A lot can happen in ten years. But if the past year is any indication on what may happen in the coming years, I see a different trend.
Case in point.
I have lost count on how many European governments have fallen in the past year.
I am witnessing in real time the de-industrialization of Europe due to unsustainable energy costs.
And then there is the high cost of living that is creating a social and economic crisis in both Europe and in the U.S./Canada, that will lead to more political instability and change of governments.
And they say Russia is facing revolution and collapse in ten years?!?!?!?
And as for predictions.
I predicted and lived to see the unrest in China that led to the Tienanmen massacre and crackdown in 1989.
I predicted and lived to see the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union a few years later.
I predicted and lived through the rise of Russia after the economic collapse and crisis in the 1990s.
But Russia collapsing in ten years?!?!?!? I see zero evidence of that happening in my lifetime, and I expect to be around for another 25 to 30 years.
