yes, sure, but resources, labour and a market isn't enough to elevate you to a global superpower. I'm not proposing EU going full Juche, just why would anyone agree to anything better for russia than being equal trade partners. All those things are great and useful, sure, but you're able to get them elsewhere. If you want special treatment you need to bring something unique to the table. Like the US used to be able to bring.

Futile attempts to destroy it, won’t work

I don't think anybody except maybe putin is trying to do that. At this point everyone would love russia just fucking off and being normal.
