Russia is on a suicide path

Yes, it is.

RU is burning its demographic future for marginal territorial gains. It is spending lives and capital faster than it can regenerate them.

Its economy becomes more and more war-dependent, which means peace itself becomes destabilizing.

The brain drain Putins war causes is not a temporary inconvenience, but a strategic wound. They really traded long-term modernization for short-term militarization.

It has pushed Europe into rearmament and made the continent stronger, not weaker. And it is losing access to Western technology faster than it can replace it.

It is becoming China’s junior partner, not an independent great power.

Every year of war raises the cost of any political exit.

They may very well survive the war, but the path they chose consumed the foundations of their own power.

Maybe stop guzzling propaganda there and try engaging with reality. It's absolutely incredible how after 4 years people are still not able to realize they're being lied to.

Who is doing the lying in this scenario? Is it the Russian people who have been told that they have been winning for 4+ years while the frontline barely moves.

Both sides are being fed delicious propaganda buddy, don't act like your shit don't stink.

Truth is Russia has bitten off more than they can chew here, there is no obvious route to Russian victory and it's looking worse and worse for your boys as each day passes.

Which side has been reduced to kidnapping terrified teenagers and 50 year olds into predator vans and shoving them into the front lines with a gun in their backs? Winning armies don't need to do Volksturm or man infantry positions with robots.

When you definitely understand how wars of attrition work.

I find it so funny how a couch political actor thinks he understands politics better than a man who took a broken russia and made it capable of fighting all of nato alone

love how military aid by the west means "all of NATO" but military aid by Iran and North Korea means "alone".

No, it isn't. And putting your wishful thinking as justifications is not how reality works.
