    No idea, i was wrong about the war starting in the first place. I guess by now it is foremost political, than economical and only on the last place a military conflict. USA and their vassal EU declared a total economical warfare against Russia - they pulled out from nothing. But they made a mistake with military part, as it is the strongest side of modern Russia - and after some pondering i think that’s exactly why that war started - because Russians calculated this is how they have most chance. Of course it was incredibly risky, if less countries ignored the US sanctions, Russia would be fucked quickly. But the risk was apparently well calculated and it is currently paying off - USA and EU are steadily bleeding their economy and their military resources in this war way faster than Russia (without even directly participating!), and this in one of the major reasons why Russia is going so slow - they don’t really have any other means to weaken the west. And their target is actually the same as USA - it was never war for Ukraine, nobody give a shit about that, it was a war for Europe, either Europe remain as US vassals and spiral down to being huge Puerto Rico, or they break off and finally start to do what EU was theoretically created for, or the EU shatters.

    So i would carefullty say that this war will probably last till either EU breaks or Ukraine surrenders.

      The ruble is stronger than it’s been in a decade so they might have calculated the risk. At the very least I can believe they expected this to happen.

      (this graph doesn’t show the 2000s where the ruble was steadily stronger. This graph compares roubles to the Euro)

        HAHAHAHAHA. Ruble is weak because Russian government kept it weak because it makes labor cheap which is very good for oligarchs. For years they’ve been buying euros and dollars to keep ruble low, and you know what happened to those money? Those are the money that got frozen! Poof! Today they do everything they can to prevent ruble to become even stronger.

      USA is not bleeding economy. Moreover, they suck blood from bleeding EU by supplying very, very overpriced LNG. And it’s not even winter yet!

        Oh but they are, just slower than Europe, but this looting isn’t sustainable and they will bleed like a pig when the petrodollar ends, which is real perspective.

        Speaking from the US, the economy is definitely hurting. Our government tries to project an image of strength abroad, but at home we’re told things like “you need to suffer for Ukraine, your pain is worth it to punish Russia.”
