This example just never makes sense.
It's a hypothetical is all but we already have historical evidence of how we would react thanks to the Cuban missile crisis.

The irony is Russia's plan is to get butt-fricked in trade deals by China to survive this endeavor.
Didn't reports just come out (not from Russia) that they are economically stronger now than before the invasion?

I think those reports are that they had lots of revenue, but that was selling oil underpriced to India. That's not a sign of economic strength. It's a sign of desperation to fund an expensive war.
Russia's economic model is based in promoting its independence (so it can survive sanctions) and this ends up being quite -EV. Russia isn't very diversified and still primarily relies on petro exports, again, -EV. This is why Russia relies on economic subjugation of its neighbors that it still views as vassal states (like Ukraine).
