Why Russia Isn't Actually Collapsing

This video is kind of sobering. It appears to be objective, but as with anything on the internet, don’t take it as the gospel, seemed fairly informative without going into either extreme.

TL;DR While Russia has faced heavy losses during the war, both on the battlefield and through sanctions, they’re still a petro-state with vast reserves of natural resources. Unless something unexpected happens, they’re likely to be able to carry out this war for quite awhile and are banking on the somewhat fickle Western world getting bored and moving on from supporting Ukraine. About the only hint of trouble is their worker shortages, but that may or may not be a huge enough issue to change things. It’s kind of a depressing video to watch and the videomaker himself has had videos in the past claiming that Russia was on the verge of collapse before, though I guess learning new information and changing your opinions isn’t necessarily a sign of weakness.
