The Ukrainian Army may have 10 years left. Then the demographics will doom them. Russia is losing population but not as much as Ukraine.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” continues its downward spiral in Ukraine, the future of Russian-occupied or dominated territories is becoming a subject of interest, beginning with Kaliningrad.
...Moldova took what could be the first step on May 15, when Igor Grosu, President of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, announced Moldova was formally withdrawing from the Commonwealth of Independent States interparliamentary assembly — the Russian equivalent of the British Commonwealth
...In a worst-case scenario, if you were to overlay the domino theory of U.S. Cold War policy, substituting “getting out from underneath Russian oppression” for “the spread of communism, Russia could experience another event akin to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. That original event led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. If Russia cannot keep its occupied territories in line, what would it mean for the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization, which currently includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, and Tajikistan? Sensing weakness as a result of Russia’s failures in Ukraine, will these other peripheral countries continue to stand by the Kremlin?

If Putin succeeds with his Holodomor II, who will purchase Russian energy products? Or anything else.
When the Ukrainians succeed, the empty shell of the Russian Federation cracks apart. Why should the local revenue all pass through Moscow? Why speak the language of our oppressor?
Add in the many released convicts to Russian society, the UNTREATED injured returnees, unpaid military wages, unpaid death benefits to families...
China will make a small token payment, in trade goods, to reclaim their lands in Manchuria.
There are no good outcomes for Russia.
Hmmm - tell that to the new BRICS financial alliance…
The walls are closing in.
“When the Ukrainians succeed”
That’s not happening unless NATO enters the war and most of the NATO members are against that.
“who will purchase Russian energy products?”
You can start by seeing what CNN has to say...

If the US cannot keep its occupied territories in line, what would it mean for the US-led NATO. Sensing weakness as a result of NATO’s failures in Ukraine, will these other peripheral countries continue to stand by the US?
Putin is not conducting Holodomor II - your accusation is insulting to those who died in Holodomor.
The Ukrainians are losing but as those running this proxy war are not in the Ukraine, they will grind down every last male who can hold a gun before ‘negotiating peace.” There is no good outcome for the Ukraine. Almost 2/3 of the citizens fled and the infrastructure is gone. If Zelensky was a real leader, he would have negotiated peace while there was something for the refugees to come home to. But he’s just a puppet in NATO’S proxy war against Russia.
It turns out that the world has turned to buying its oil from that well-known petroleum power house - India. Where is India getting the oil from - oh yeah, don't look now.
“Holodomor II”
Holodomor II is occurring as we speak. An entire generation of Ukrainian men are dying for nothing. It’s tragic.
Even if NATO is for is and wants to, they have nothing to do it with. The UK has an afternoons worth of artillery ammo and has fewer than 200 tanks. The Germans have laughably less and what they do send gets to be “Germans in Ukraine, fighting Russians”, so that’ll never happen.
Norway? Finland, etc? LOL
Sure.
The Ukrainian Army may have 10 years left. Then the demographics will doom them. Russia is losing population but not as much as Ukraine.
“It turns out that the world has turned to buying its oil from that well-known petroleum power house - India. Where is India getting the oil from - oh yeah, don’t look now.”
LOL, and now we’re screaming at India for buying Russian oil and cutting it with other oil...which was TOTALLY ALLOWED by the sanctions.
...and, to add to the ever-increasing Neocon humiliation, India just told us to TAKE A HIKE when it comes to trying to get their help with our WW3 plans.
I suppose this is suppose to make me happy that my government is wasting billions of my tax dollars on a country that I don’t care about.
“Holodomor II is occurring as we speak. An entire generation of Ukrainian men are dying for nothing. It’s tragic.”
They are dying for something, which is to satisfy the Neocon BLOOD LUST they have regarding Russia.
Effing neocon morons. Incompetence in spades.
Ah yes the eat the bugs crowd. If Ukraine wins we are under the WEF’s thumb and own nothing. If Ukraine loses then expect more movement away from the dollar and we’ll be crushed by inflation.
Four years ago we didn’t have this problem. Wonder what changed?
‘The Ukrainians are losing but as those running this proxy war are not in the Ukraine”
Another Russian troll. Of course Russia is losing. What is the point of negotiating with someone who will cheat?
I predict that the nation that will lose the most is the USA when we are tricked into WW III—and Lose in two years. A humbled America will seek scapegoats and be ripped apart in Civil War. America will be chopped into three nations then. Only the rich will come out OK with homes in far away places. Boy, I hope I am wrong. The new F-16 deal looks more and more like I am right. If India joins the Russia/China/Iran Axis we will be hard pressed to win.
Only after China, Russia and their Mexican drug gang allies take what they have won as the spoils of war.
