Who is killing their own deserters matters not at all in the long run.
This is what matters.
This is why Putin and friends are just biding their time.
While freepers argue about battlefield stuff, the dollar is dying internationally.
What does that mean for us?

It means the bill of roughly $100,000 per person, or $400,000 per family of 4 is FINALLY coming due and is expected to be paid back, or at least substantially paid back.
If not, we become the 21st Century of Argentina, a country that dropped from First World status, to Third World status.
Plus, Putin will win in Ukraine, since we simply won’t be able to print the money needed to fight him.

I think it’s best not to hold premature funerals.
Every fiat currency is precarious by nature, but the dollar is the least precarious, not just because of its status as reserve currency, but primarily because of the dominance of the United States, both economically and militarily.
Now China may have outstripped us in exports, but not in productivity, nor in, I think, the general health of their economy. And there is simply no real comparison militarily between the US and any current nation or alliance of nations. So if the US dollar is to come crashing down, it’s going to more likely happen due to our own negligence and mismanagement (which Biden & co are happy to try) than because of competition or scheming by other countries.
