      they have been on that brink for a while. the reasons are, that russia
      1. has its economy fallen apart but gets money through ressource exports, so not much economy needed anyway, (it gets very much less money by the exports though)
      2. it can dictate the pace of the war, since ukraine is restriced by its allies to very few strikes behind the russian border
      3. it can steadily replace fallen soldiers
      all of these reasons won't work forever, if the western countrys keep it up, its just a matter of time befor russia wont be able to sustain the high costs at a massively lower income.
      plus: if ukraine manages to get cimea back, it will be over even sooner. but for now it's a longer run.

      If I'm remembering correctly, that IMF data all comes from self-reported figures as well. Thus, it says the Russian economy is doing fine because that's what Putin wants to tell the world. It's not a real study of the Russian economy. An economy that is: hemorrhaging skilled workers to emigration, was already on the brink of demographic collapse and is now losing young men by the tens of thousands to war, which relies mostly on petroleum sales but can barely sell above cost due to sanctions, which can't do normal business with half the world due to sanctions, which is now blowing tons of its cash on war, which has switched from production of normal products to production for war, and which wasn't a particularly healthy economy to begin with... is in NO WAY going to show a growing GDP unless the numbers are being fudged big time.

We can't beat the Russians in an open industrial competition of who has the most shells, the most tanks etc., because they will win that kind of great power war.

      @@nickkorea5850 I agree we are doing an impressive job. But, if you saw the casualty impacts (it is a lie, by the president, that we lost only 31,000 KIA for sure; he is not very popular anymore, except among media and fellow politicians), and observed the situation with shells/ammo, and so forth, you would see, it is really not possible to beat Russia in an open conventional war. We will have lost our entire army and they will still have reserves. I should mention, most of their tank factories and much of their weapons storage are in Siberia, in the Urals, in shelters hardened against nuclear attack during the Cold War, in some cases. Even if we were given non-nuclear long-range missiles many times longer range than Storm Shadow or ATACMs, we can't hit them. It is in the willpower of Russia that they will have to collapse. China and India will always buy their oil, minerals, timber and food (Germany , too, sadly still buys a lot via back channels/foreign-flagged ships). Usually, assymetric warfare DOES reduce casualties compared to open conventional warfare. See how in the Vietnam, when the Vietnamese tried open conventional tactics against the French and US, they usually lost heavily. Even General Giap, brilliant that he was, acknowledged that the Tet Offensive, military was a mistake and not sustainable (so they scaled down after that, and won in the end). I am not saying get rid of conventional forces, but do like the Vietnamese, focusing on reserving them for the defensive, or for extremely tempting opportunities. Really, if you came here and saw how some villages are totally empty of men 18-60s with all 4 limbs still attached, you would realize. The big offensives, like last summer, are stupid and not possible without massive air support (as in NATO doctrine, which we were stupidly pressured to follow despite not having the planes). We also have a ton of internal political problems which blind support for everything staying the same has prevented us from resolving. For example, bad and unpopular generals replacing popular/good ones, corrupt officials stealing aid money. It's more complicated that just keep smashing the Russians, full-scale until we win, because we will all die and have no country left if we do like that.

    As someone who roots for Ukraine and very much wants to see Russia defeated in this conflict, words can't express how I hate this sort of ignorant triumphalism.
    For the better part of two years, we have been hearing about how Russia is on a brink of a collapse. None of that has demonstrated thus far. Russia is still fighting the fight, now solidly entrenched in the eastern parts of Ukraine, Crimea annexed, and all. Ukraine has neither the requisite manpower, nor the technology to breach Russian positions.
    The usual sociological scenarios don't work in Russia. Western Europeans will take to the streets at one tenth of the discomfort the Russians will simply take on their chins. Meanwhile the public dissatisfaction with the war grows in the EU. A couple more years, and one by one, European countries will be governed by populists who'll want to end the war. At the same time, the demoralized, obedient Russians will still be toeing the Kremlin line.
    Not to mention, that Russia is still nuclear superpower, that has the capability of destroying the entire world multiple times over, and only God knows what the Russian dictator will do, when he faces the impossible odds.
    Russia has the entire periodic table, and is one of the largest exporters of food. They don't really need to buy much, other than sophisticated machinery, and advanced microchips. And they keep buying those through proxies from EU companies, so that's how nicely the sanctions work.
    Ukrainian soldiers are exhausted, they don't have the proper rotation. Every next western military aid will face more and more pushback.
    I just don't understand this unbridled optimism. I hope NATO/EU maintain their material and intelligence support of Ukraine for as long as it is necessary, but I don't see a lot of reason for optimism.

Then for almost 9 years they have been shelling the cities of Eastern Ukraine and have been killing civilians daily. Totalling almost 20,000 civilians in almost a decade. Putin had warned Western leaders for years to stop killing ethnic Russians there and encroaching on Russian territory but They Refused to abide by there own (Minsk accord) and Putin finally said enough is enough and started the Special Military Operation.

The saying that the gulf stream in on the brink of collapse due to carbon emissions is generally understood to mean we could be plunged into an ice age in 50 to 200 years time. That's a pretty long brink. For a country, being on the brink of collapse is more of a 10 to 80 year deal, especially when we are talking about birth rates as a factor. Nobody who says that a country is on the brink of collapse because it there are more people dying than being born is suggesting that those babies will be working full time jobs to support the economy before they grow up. The housing bubble was on the brink of collapse for about 15 years before the GFC finally popped the bubble.

    While Russia did make some money/grow their economy a bit over the past few decades, it's a pretty small improvement if you consider the size of their country/population and then look at their direct neighbors and the profits-vs-size that those have achieved, Russia is a failed economy because they keep ruining relations, which include trade relations. They can keep pouring oil & gas money into their economy to prop it up all they want but it won't magically make things better, now that stuff is getting sanctioned we are seeing this in effect, they dont have a sustainable economy... 🤷‍♂

Then for almost 9 years they have been shelling the cities of Eastern Ukraine and have been killing civilians daily. Totalling almost 20,000 civilians in almost a decade. Putin had warned Western leaders for years to stop killing ethnic Russians there and encroaching on Russian territory but They Refused to abide by there own (Minsk accord) and Putin finally said enough is enough and started the Special Military Operation.

Once dominated by the West, now plenty of similar companies from Russia, India, etc. provide their own services, without the need to rely on the western financial system). Since sanctions created a precented, which showed that US/UK/EU financial systems are unreliable. This leads many nations to diversify their foreign exchange reserves, or straight up stray from the west.

    History repeats itself. We have seen this all before, many many times. It's so sad. Vladimir had the opportunity and the power base to turn Russia into an economic superpower. He had the oil, natural gas, and mineral resources to fund it along with the political support to succeed. Instead, he chose a path centred on personal ambitions and to sate his desire for revenge when his ambitions were thwarted. I find all this enormously depressing especially since it has resulted in unimaginable suffering and the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, many of whom are Russians - his own people. The sad thing is that Russia has so many people and such large resources, that Vladimir can keep this war going indefinitely. Men like him have ways of controlling the people so well that they dare not rise up and overthrow him. This video repeats the well-worn theme that Russia is on the brink of collapse and that will somehow end the war. No, it won't. This war will continue until Vladimir dies of natural causes or is killed in a nuclear war that he will trigger if he senses he is losing - and that will be horrendous for humanity - and all of this because of one man.

The more resources Russia is focusing on war, the less it has resources for other things, like private investments or basic infra. It will start to run out of the soviet era weaponry in a year, and needs to change tactics, as it can't produce replacement for them efficiently. If Ukrainians can keep hitting the oil refineries, Russia will also lose significant source of income. It will need more funding for the war and needs draft more men and increase taxes and impose economic controls. This will lead to more corruption and internal disputes, that will require more funding to internal security. Putin also relies on popular support. The origins of this war is in the earlier attempt to cut the pensions, but that got the people on the streets, and he had to return the old pension rate, but only won the earlier support back by invading Ukraine.

      @@bivvystridents3752 I understand your point, but there is a counterargument if this is more of liberation of Crimean land from Ukraine which had very little to do with it to begin with.
      It's true that now it's more or less governed as part of Russia - some people from Russia naturally moved in, while some moved out, but they are minority.
      So are and were people who viewed Ukrainians more than Crimeans.
      Please refer to a source that describes forceful relocation. I have not found credible one on this matter yet though I suspect some overreaction could have taken place.
      There are many of Tatars and Ukrainians still in Crimea as well as in Russia. They are not being targeted by nazis the way Russians were in Lugansk and Donetsk and they can live there if they like - no one is forcing them out or making their life worse intentionally - as far as I know
      Ukrainian language and customs are being de-facto banned (as in - not taught in schools or used in official documents) in Crimea but no one really spoke Ukrainian or observed Ukrainian customs other than that relatively tiny diaspora. Everything was in Russian before the annexation.
      However those few that engage in anti-Russia protests and plan counteroffensive do get unfairly repressed and that is a problem in Russia in general. I most definitely don't support that.

      That they are prosecuted for protesting is horrible but that does not automatically mean they are entirely right.
      I agree something needs to be done to rectify the situation with them but giving the land to Ukraine on that account seems wrong to me. Let's give entire Germany to Jews then?
      At the very least it would be important to first hear the opinion of all the Tatars, not just the ones who raised the issue - do they actually want to live there and be a part of Ukraine? I think most of them have families and friends elsewhere and would call the thing that happened almost a century ago a thing of the past, possibly demanding monetary compensation?
      However what you say is that forcefully relocating Tatars is wrong but forcefully relocaing Russians is ok?
      Let's continue the thought process then. Native Americans retake the US and give all US citizens a free ticket to Britain, Spain, France, etc
      Furthermore, what I imagine would happen if by some insanity your scenario becomes true::
      1) most of Tatars would not want to migrate to Crimea, especially while it is in this unstable state.
      2) the entire landmass becomes a ghost town and then inevitably lawless place for contrabandists, militant groups, pirates, etc.
      3) A huge number of displaced Russians do not have a place in Russia to call home. Russia would be unable to build housing at a short notice. A severe crisis ensues. This crisis would not be contained and spills over in the rest of Europe, at the very least they will have to contend with another refugee inflow,
      By the way in the most of Russia you cannot just make a permanent tent camp for refugees because -20C winter with no heated house is death. Here a central heating infrastructure is just a not a nice thing to have - it's basic survival.
      4) This leads to a bloody war for control of Crimea between displaced Russians + their supporters who would probably include most Russians, and already stretched thin and battered Ukrainian army troops who never called Crimea home and would probably be somewhat reluctant to defend a bunch of bandits from VERY angry Russians.
      I understand that you think this thing is bad and I agree that people were wronged but a solution should definitely not be worse than the problem.

His outbursts of anger do not please the staff of the presidential administration. Behind closed doors, they criticize him for his “diplomatic naivety,” the author notes.
    With flags ready to fly from flagpoles in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, organizers are concerned that the guest list isn't long enough and the guests aren't high-profile enough. Nobody invited Russia there. But the disdainful attitude towards this event on the part of the Chinese and Biden was an obvious blow, forcing Zelensky to make public reproaches,
