Russia may “win” in Ukraine but it has already suffered a catostophic strategic defeat that it cannot reverse. This war has demonstrated to the world that Russia’s conventional military is not the fierce juggernaut that was once so feared. NATO now realizes that Russia could never sustain successful offensive operations against it. The geopolitical ramifications are immense. China now knows that the Russian FarEastern/Pacific underpopulated rich territories and Siberian cannot be defended. China has always coveted those lands. Without the nuclear deterent, which is a very risky defense, Russia would be much smaller.
Russia has demilitarized Europe and the grifting NATurds.
“Russia” is Moscow and Saint Petersberg, both of which are populated by white Europeans. The majority of the Asian land mass that “Russia” occupies is populated by non-white ethnic peoples, all of whom the Russian Tsars conquered, and upon whom the Russian state has no rightful claim.
Essentially, these peoples are regarded by the “Russians” as being of inferior stock, and thus they are treated as slaves by the Russian state.
Note that the majority of “Russia’s” military onscripts, which the Kremlin has used to invade Ukraine, are not from Moscow or Saint Petersberg, but from the Eastern territories - Mongols, Chechens, etc.
It is NATO that cannot sustain a credible war against anyone. The socialist nations of Western Europe have spent their money on Utopian/Leftist projects and have relied upon the United States to provide for their military protection. The U.S. military is now hollowed out and cannot even get close to its recruiting needs.
The entire world saw the shameful American surrender in Afghanistan, leaving a fortune in American weapons behind for the barbarians to use or sell on the black market.
It is NATO so crippled and impotent as to be a laughable deterrent.
The Russian army today is now the most battle-tested modern army in the world.
Western armies haven't fought a modern military force since the Korean War. Every fight we've been in since then has been against brave men wearing sandals.
...and China much larger!
Russia will nuke China if it came to that. End of discussion.
