I dont see Russia losing.
I dont even see a war happening. Russia will invade Ukraine, and will only see sanctions. that is all. Ukraine is not in NATO, they cant use it to start a NATO vs Russia war.
I don't know if there is going to be a war or not but harsh sanctions against Russia would be a two edged sword--the West will also take some serious consequences in that case.
I was talking about Russia's cut to the size on a long term trajectory. The Wolves of the West are out to get to Russia's natural resources and Putin is the one standing in front of them. After him--I sadly don't see but a balkanized Russia.
The people who applaud Putin here would also have applauded hitler in 1938
At least I am not 'applauding' Putin. Giving credit where its due. The Russia of today would have been far worse off without him; people should go back to the early 1990s to compare. BTW, all leaders, including even Hitler, are a mixed-bag. Some accomplish a lot in good and bad ways. Same can be said about Stalin. Or Mao. Or Napoleon. In general, history is not charitable toward those who lost.
