Not exactly an "influencer".
Serious cope.
What the war is really about :
600,000 dead Ukrainian boys so that they can hang on to office.
“The walls are closing in!”
Not exactly an "influencer".
This is what happened during World War II to the Japan and German as their economies were destroyed by the Allies. As their economies shrunk, and the resources and labor needed to run the war grew, all parts of the economy had huge increases in cost and time. This caused increasing delays, inefficiencies and mistakes in production and ability to run their countries and war efforts. The result was their economies simply burned out.In a post on X some days ago, he explained what this 'toxicity' means: "If the cost of replacing material losses (in such a way that the speed of replacement is in balance with the speed of losses) is no longer within the scope of the financing of the state budget, then a system becomes unfinanceable. This unfinanceability is toxic for a system because it causes the system to collapse in the medium term (unless the war is won)."
This is now catching up to Russia. Their main source of revenue, oil and gas, is decreasing while having higher production costs. The war in Ukraine is increasing government consumption of all resources, especially the lives of young men. A million middle class and skilled labor Russians having fled the country only makes this worse. Then there is the corruption in the military where Shoigu and the top of the Russian military embezzle 20% of military spending and corruption is normal all the way down to the lowest ranks.
Niven states that Russia is big, but Putin is not strong. Ukraine isn't going to win as much as Russia is going to economically burn out and lose. When Russia burns out, Putin's political position will weaken, which is what he fears. Weakened strongmen do not last long in Russian politics.
You can tell your stories, but Russia isn’t going away or going to collapse anytime soon.
They border Ukraine and have time & geography on their side.

Serious question here.
If the strain of this invasion is weighing heavily on Russias economy, what targets need to be destroyed or disabled within Russia that are too expensive or impossible to fix or replace given sanctions and the strain on Russias economy of this war?
Critical infrastructure? Rail hubs? Nuke plants? Factories making xxx? Oil pipelines to India and China? Fertilizer hubs? Mines or mining transport? Electric grid lines? Where do the Ukes get the most bang for the buck striking deep inside Russia to cripple their economy? This isn’t WW2 and we aren’t resupplying via lend lease this time.
Is China willing to or even ABLE to? They have their own problems with economy concerns via real estate finance collapse.
Its all propaganda.
Russia has a toxic economy?
Russia is a totalitarian state.THey could care less about the Rissian people. They have no power.
Whether the economy in Russia is toxic, or booming does not matter.Russia’’s allies will supply Russia with whatever it wants carte blanche.
The only thing Russia understands is force majeur. And Biden alongwith the sociialist Progressives wh9 run NATO do not want to deliver enough of it for Urkaine’s victory, preferring a stalemate and large kick back schemes for individuals who admonister rtge suopoky of ars to the socilaist progressive gvoernment of Ukraine.
Ukraine has two paths to salvation....
1) the proper supply of military assets, ordnance and air superiority over Ukraine’s territory, the seizing of Russian territory .
2) Abandonment of the West and an alliance with Russia with a retiurn to Staus Quo Ante.
A defeat for NATO, which it deserves, given i ts failure as a self defense organization over the last 20 yeras.NATO has become a tool for Western conquest under the leadership of Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama. THe bombing of the Balkans, the conquest and destruction of Libya are two minor examples of NATOs failure to prosecute its mandate.NATO has caused the war with Russia and it is NATO that prolongs that war for the sake of greed. NATO does not conduct this war towards victory. Ask yourself why.
Geesh, what would we ever do without more daily lies and fabrication from the enemedia?
A must read. Its why the USA has designed NATO to continue a stalemate war between Ukraine and Russia.
Like I said before. Greed.
Ukraine is a gold mine US senator
