Summary
Regardless of Putin’s decision regarding the war in Ukraine, Russia’s economy is facing a crisis due to factors such as sanctions, a shrinking sovereign wealth fund, and a labor shortage. The war has boosted growth, but Russia cannot sustain it without significant economic consequences.
I’m not an economist or even especially well informed, but… Isn’t war kind of… You know. Expensive?
Yeah I know it could pay off in the long term if you just swept up a country’s worth of innocents, genocided them and grabbed their land (Hi Israel), but… Fuck up the war badly enough, and there’s not going to BE a long term, just because the economy collapses. Right?
Bold of you to assume China will just let russia collapse. Ideally, China economically subjugates Russia and makes it essentially a satellite state
All China wants is the mineral and petroleum reserves in Siberia. They don’t give a fuck about the population centers in western Russia.
I’m sure they can be re-educated as well as any other minority… (/s but not really)
And water…Beijing needs water and lake Baikal is around the corner.
Really. There’s nothing in Russia that can’t be had easier just by buying it. And all the Russians worth a damn have gotten the hell out of Russia.
Remember that China is having a bit of an economic crisis at the moment
