Likelihood is Russia occupies, installs gov't, and rolls out, and stays a country in perpetual economic depression. Hoping the world moves on and wants its energy again.

Russia being cutoff from SWIFT means they can't access markets. At all.
Even if they sent physical truckloads of Rubles to China to purchase things, no one wants Rubles.
They will become paralyzed and won't be able to continue the war. They'll need to quit as millions at home starve.
