[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no chance Russia can take all of Ukraine and subjugate it. Meanwhile, they're condemned to decades of global isolation and a rapidly declining economy and standard of living. Not to mention the population doom loop they are now condemned to having lost a generation of men.

Wait, wasn’t victory defined by Ukraine as expelling Russia from every inch of territory? But Russia has conquered and held roughly 20% of Ukraine. How do you square that circle?

Russia has strengthened relations with China, India, etc as we shift to a multipolar world where the US is no longer the only actor calling the shots. They are far from some crippled global pariah, despite what the TV tells you.[/quote]

Both China and India are taking advantage of Russia's weakness. There has been some technology transfer from Russia to China in exchange for some basic goods and services. And because of Russia's enormous losses in Ukraine, the entire frontier with China is effectively unguarded. In the 19th Century, when China was weak, Russia did annex a large area of what was then known as Manchuria. It was part of the Qing Empire and home to the Manchu. You can bet China wants that back and is watching Russia's deterioration with great interest.

India just wants cheap energy, which Russia is providing since it lost its most lucrative market - Europe. But this means that India is now the largest financier of Russian imperialism. Personally, I believe India should be sanctioned like North Korean and Iran. But Russia and India are hardly allies. India is taking advantage of Russia's weakness and isolation simply to secure some cheap gas.

And in the meantime, Russia continues to lose more than 1000 men a day. And everyone with more than two brain cells emigrated at the outset of war. Russia is a rapidly declining country that is becoming what it's always been - a backward country of illiterate and drunk peasants ruled by a grotesque czar.
