The war in the Ukraine will be short, not long. Contrary to what today´s Western casino politicians and MSM talking heads tell us to expect, come 2023 — or even before – Europeans will no longer withstand the tremendous burden that their ´Russian sanctions´ bear upon themselves, not Russia. European public opinion has become ever louder and impatient in this respect and EU politicians are getting cold feet without any solution at hand, just babble. No plan, none, no foresight… only incongruent foolish G-7 ideas such as establishing a buyer´s price cap cartel for oil & gas in a seller´s market which will never get to see the light of day. And despite some minor losses, these sanctions will continue to leave the Russian Federation basically unscathed and just collecting ever-larger revenues – due to higher induced prices — for smaller volumes of exports delivered. This benefits Russia in two ways (a) getting paid more by producing less while saving the difference for future sales (b) it allows to finance Russia´s attrition-war strategy forever while Europeans will very soon crawl and beg for a solution to their own unbearable “Russian sanctions”.

Russian war criminals should not talk about rape and pillaging.

I’m reading the Russia is so short of munitions that 40-year-old S300 anti-aircraft missiles are being re-purposed for surface-to-surface bombardment.

Stalin’s dream of a Europe dominated by the Slavic races is still just a racist’s dream.

“ sanctions will continue to leave the Russian Federation basically unscathed and just collecting ever-larger revenues – due to higher induced prices — for smaller volumes of exports delivered”

The Price has stopped going up, but volume continues to drop.

The short term adjustment was just short term. The long term adjustment is that Russia loses the European gas market that it took them a half century to build, and becomes a pariah for investment or trade - except for China, which will own them like they do North Korea.

After China appoints their next vassal after Putin, and puts in pipelines to drain off all the oil and gas it wants, the last remaining opportunity for regular Russians will be to send their girls out to service Chinese men
