The west really tried to break Russia. Instead Russia broke globalism. Nordstream broke the EU economies. It srarted with 1.2m Ukes under arms vs 540k Russians... now it is 1.7m Russians vs 600k Ukes. Russia has surpassed the west in air to ground, drones and mussiles. They produced over 375 main battle tanks in 2024 vs a handful. They repair 7 of 10 tanks knocked out.
Russia will soon have most of the EU Banks collateral under Russian management....
Russia only has to take the city if Zaporosa to make Ukraine literally a rump state. This one city us responsible for over half if Ukrainian GDP. If the Russians use those 300 invasion boats, Ukraine will never be economically viable.
Zelinski will not show without a ceasefire si Russia will destroy Ukraine, and Trump walks away.
That’s laughable.
Russia’s decrepit and rotten, and Putin’s as embarrassing as Joe Biden was, both presiding over nations they allowed to decline on their watch while filling their own pockets as fast as they could.
But dementia caught up to Biden and he’s been replaced with a reformer... and time will catch up to Putin. But will Russia get a reformer in time to save them from further disaster, or just another fool with personal ambition?
