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.
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
