With this invasion Putin has pulled a reverse-Nixon move. He has basically severed any possibility for Russia to become western friendly.

China merely needs to be careful that it doesn't push for excessive benefits and it should be ok

And if Putin is removed, the Communist Party will take power and thus be even closer to China.
I am actually a lot less worried now about Russia's relations with China in the Post-Putin era

I was referring to the possibility of economic issues resulting in public discontent + potential quagmire in ukraine + cia money increases the risk of color revolution happening in Russia.

What were the losses they were reporting?



4 km. Ok, cherepakha.

Did I miss anything about the DNR?
They have not gave reports of how many Ukrainians died because I am assuming that is a sensitive topic to not cause outrage but reporting their equipment being destroyed instead.

Predictable. Russia will most likely achieve a pyrrhic victory. One of the side effects of this poorer than expected performance is it will psychologically boost both the Washington elites and regular Americans to physically take on China on the Taiwan issue even more. They will falsely equal the Chinese military doctrine, training, equipment as copies of Russia and can't possibly win in a ambitious Taiwan campaign, and a chance to halt the "rebellion" against the current world order once and for all.
Ukraine has been abandoned to their luck by the same powers who stirred all this mess, this is rising a lot of questions in Taiwan. Whatever twitter victory Ukrainians have that fact is the Russians are disintegrating that country day by day. How long the siege will last, two weeks? whatever victory Putin will have could send a signal to hardliners including those in China that the West will not respond.

Its like this season is not very well suited for a war, but what do I know...

It should be a good season until around mid-March. However, if the weather is warm, it will get bad.

One of the reasons the Germans waited until so late in the year for their Leroy Jenkins into the USSR was the mud. And the logistics issues, but those they'd never overcome.

Wonder what the economic instability will do to Putin.
Iran has survived even toughen sanctions. Russia can still sell its gas and oil. It has a long border with China that should keep basic goods in stock. So it is not totally doom for Russia.

Anyway, we wouldn't know the full effect of the sanctions until weeks, months and years later. However, sanctions don't seem to work well for whatever reason.
