A leak of an interdepartmental memo would not use such casual language and cussing.

Its Russia. Its silovki. Casual cussing is... not out of question.
Dude, it really, really doesn't look authentic. Did you ever work in a corporation, or served in the military or any other large organization where emails are passed? Memos never look anything like whatever this thing is supposed to be.
Edit: don't get me wrong, the conclusions might well be spot on, but it's definitely not an authentic document.
Its not a memo that was leaked, not sure where you got the idea that it was.
If real, it's more like a frustrated/annoyed FSB guy venting/ranting on 4chan about how fucked up the situation is, not leaking an official memo.

Bellingcat does some pretty great work, but their participants are all staunchly anti-Putin. You can trust their actual reports, but what they post on their personal twitter accounts should be approached a bit more skeptically. These people all want Putin to fail.For western ones, absolutely. For eastern...

Anyway, conveniently for all of us, the actual purported leak contains concrete predictions about what its author is certain(!) will happen. It's dated 'March 4th', and the author claims that within one to two weeks, Russia will see economic collapse, food problems and unrest that will make Russian look back "fondly" on the "hungry '90s".
Let's give him until March 18th, huh? If the scenario he predicts hasn't unfolded by then, his two week window has passed, and we know that he wasn't accurate. Regardless of his actual identity, if his predictions don't come true, his intel is worthless. If by the 18th, Russia has devolved into general riots, violence and anarchy, we can safely assume this guy was a real insider. If not, and if nothing really close like that looks to be happening, we can safely dimiss this entire "leak".
Modern technology doesn't really work without access to some special materials, some of which are found only in specific places in the world. Maybe Russia can survive a complete and total embargo, but not as anything close to a modern, powerful, technological nation. It will become something much closer to the worst of the shittiest African countries.

Coal liquefaction has been a thing since the 1920's, But if everyone wants to be "green" we should just build nuclear power plants maybe of the molten salt variety and then just build the infrastructure for hydrogen.
The Vocal Minority want to be Green. If everybody did. SUV sales would not have been so high as it is.

Given the amount of land you would need to replace oil with biodiesel, you would need to seriously reduce the population to make it work.
It's still very wasteful process, even with all the technological advances. Honestly, burning the coal in power plants and using the electricity to power the vehicles would be more energy efficient.
Both solutions can be supplemental, but I think the biggest portion of the solution should be nuclear technology. Not that it is politically feasible.

Ironically its the "green energy" lobby that fights hardest against nuclear now, Probably because they know their shit is snake oil and nuclear is an actual solution.

Yeah, but they had Zelenski and Poroshenko, instead.

While that's hilarious, I was honestly thinking more-so about Biden, Blinken, Nuland etc. when I was writing up my post. TBH if Zelensky actually manages to pull through with a reasonable compromise that leaves Ukraine mostly intact and himself in the presidential office with his head still attached (and I do think that's the best case scenario for Ukraine itself since it's pretty obvious that nobody wants to start WW3 for him, when that's what it would take to prevent a Ukrainian defeat either tomorrow or next month or next year)...
Well. I would unironically be impressed and consider him a lot more intelligent than the aforementioned Western leaders, who seem very eager to fight to the last Ukrainian, hellbent on forcing a solid Sino-Russian alliance, and pursuing green policies that wouldn't make sense even outside of an economic war with Russia all at the same time.
And Putin is a KGB Murderer. Zelenski has a way more better character than Putin ever will.
