russia is broke, you muppet. every extra day of war wears it down further. a year of economic decline, it's military drained and exposed as the decrepit, poorly trained and poorly led basket case it is, putin humiliated, the russian economy in tatters with zero investment, most western countries pulled out, including oil, gas auto and mining sector know how. rouble in free fall, interest rates at 8.5% and much worse to come, plus reparation payments that'll drag through the international courts for years, and putin plus pals unable to leave the glorious motherland because he'll be arrested for war crimes. but hey, he'll be able to visit his lovely mates in ****stan, subsaharan africa, and the despots in south america if he gets really bored. great company russia has.
