How does Russia get weaker? Their trade with the rest of BRICS has been skyrocketing, their technology is actually getting developed for once, and the country is more unified than ever. All this war has done is decouple the Russian economy from the European one, which, sure, isn’t ideal, but that’s already happened.
Now? The EU is more dependent on the US, and Russia is more dependent on China/India rather than the EU. Globalization is backsliding, and that’s dangerous because globalization is what kept the peace after the Cold War.
Russia is weaker because the ruble is tanking, there aren’t developing better technology because we won’t give them the tools to do so, they are using up their military equipment faster than they can replace it and they are literally losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Ah yes of course the dirty dumb slavs are just so stupid they can’t possibly invent anything new, they need the Glorious Western Master Race to give them the tools to do so.

You’re talking about an industrial and scientific base that achieved every first in the space race except a manned landing on the Moon. Russia isn’t the USSR, but they haven’t undergone a half century of deindustrialization like the U.S. has, and their education system didn’t just disappear, either.
literally losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers
Whatever else you believe about this war, you have to understand that casualty figures are speculative, we have no way of independently verifying them, and anyone who might bother to independently verify them is invested in one side or the other and is thus likely to lie.

And what a ‘peace’ it was.

Any day now the ghost of kiev will descend from the heavens and save the day

According to Ukrainian medics, 90% of casualties are caused by artillery shells…
According to Ukrainian command, Russia is firing 5 times more artillery per day…
Russia is allegedly the side that has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

You mean the hypersonic missile that was shot down by Ukrainian air defense? 🤣
