Russia will eventually implode. Making all it's claims to lands around it irrelevant. It's never had the opportunity to mature and evolve in its past, and its ugly and brutal current form is not sustainable, after what has happened in Ukraine. I'll give it another 2-3 years max.

I am a believer knowing that Ukraine is receiving all the help they need to smack Russia back to 1991 borders. I do believe it is stragecally better not to know all the specific bits and bobs! I praise EU/NATO/++ send whatever is needed to Ukraine that leads to Ukraine's Victory and praise those who gave after VICTORY is achieved IMHO! Ukraine should boot Russia out of their country with speed and Russia to not know what hit them! SLAVA UKRAINI!👊 🇺🇦 HEROYAM SLAVA 🙏🙏💙💛🇺🇦👊 🙏🙏🕊🌍
