I still don't think this ends well for Russia.
And certainly not well enough to justify the damage he has done to the population.
Russia can't afford to lose half a million military aged men. This may make their demographic problems even worse than the Chinese and Japanese.
Russia is more united, Russia is larger, Russia is stronger militarily, BRICS is the fastest growing International partnership. I don't see the decline.

You will
Take a look at their demographic profile and projections and then get back to us.
Military loses are not the roots of this problem, lack thereof is not the solution. Most of Europe has this problem.
The fact most of europe has this problem is irrelevant. Before the war russia was literally a dying country (more deaths than births). War losses among males in the prime baby making years only exacerbated the situation. As for BRICs being the fastest growing international partnership - that is a laugh. Which currency are those countries going to make as their new reserve currency?
Russia was dying in the 1990's, not before the war. Only a fraction of able bodied males are fighting the war and they are not conscripts who have yet to start a family. Whether BRICS trade in dollars, yuen or rubles, it still benefits Russia.
Talking down Russia helps who? Go work for CNN.

Most developed nations have the problem.
China and Japan are some of the worst.
It's a consequence of the "population growth is our enemy" philosophy that the green weenies were pushing for decades.
But, I sure wouldn't want to be looking at retiring in Russia in the next couple decades.
Or China.

Russia will come out of this stronger than when she entered.
The damage done to her population is minor , She will also swallow up huge amounts of Ukrainians to help offset the loses
The strategic benefits of taking the largest richest food produceing coal producing, natural gas producing mineral producing areas of Ukraine and possibly the port of Odessa will have strong economic benefits for Russia ,

Nice to see you guys drop the ridiculous pretense that this was somehow about defending Russians and finally admit it what it was really about.
A good old fashioned war of conquest.
It also clearly demonstrates why NATO cannot allow it.
Appeasement *always* makes things worse.

LOL, it was never a war of conquest. Those are not the reasons the invasion happened . There are a lot of bright officers and generals, (a few NCO's: ) that didnt take the money that Agree with that.

It’s Russian Men Against Ukrainian Machines on the Battlefields in Ukraine
Desperately short of infantry, Kyiv is using aerial drones to pick off Russian infantry. It’s slowing, but not stopping, the Russian advance.

Russian military pioneered fiber optics drones. There are limitations on their use, but they have some advantages and they can't be disabled by electronic means.

The New Drones Boosting Russia's Advances On The Battlefield In Ukraine
Russia's transition to drones directed by fiber-optic cables, which makes jamming ineffective, is giving them an advantage on the battlefield as Kyiv and Moscow gear up for a pivotal stretch of fighting ahead of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's return to office.

Full list of Russians to fall out of windows since Putin invaded Ukraine
A series of mysterious deaths have involved prominent Russian figures since the Ukraine war began last February.

Well, the plan was to hit Russia with so many sanctions that Russian oligarchs and government officials will overthrow Putin. This regime change plan was pushed by the media and Russophobs in the U.S. I guess this plan is also out of the window now.

How much do you have to drink to look like that at 58. Google this asshole, there isn't any record of his performances on stage. Late bloomer? Good luck singing and dancing into regime change in Russia. I think these window dives are done to send a message, there are easier and less conspicuous ways to take someone out. It's a big FUCK YOU to Western intelligence services.
