They will likely take Ukraine, but long term this is a strategic blunder for Putin. The occupation and pacification of the Ukraine will not come cheap. The sanctions will cripple the Russian economy for years to come, and the decline of Russia from great power status will only accelerate. The Russians and their various constituent nations will become increasingly restive. Add to that an aging and increasingly paranoid Putin, and the West will have an ever easier time to set them up for regime change and possibly balkanization. China should be wary of relying too much on Russia.

Interesting, you say that between 1990-2010 Russia was a great power, and now dismishing from that position ?

Behaviour of any country doesn't support this theory.

And generally, why you think that the currently implemented sanctions won't came anyway?

In the past ten years random events, unrelated to Russia trigered sanctions, like poisonging a british spy next to the UK chemical weapon complex.

well, so far a low casualty is good. I am not sure if it's the case in Ukraine. But I think if conflict breaks out over Taiwan, the Taiwanese will curse mainlander for not treating them as Chinese (meaning 自己人) while insisting they are not Chinese. I think that intensifies the hate.

Taiwanese will be flying the PRC flag and singing the PRC anthem the moment the PLA lands in the Island.

Never underestimate their shamelessness

Dude, I’ve been on liveuamap since the Syrian civil war. If that map indicates a well coordinated plan to you, we can stop now!

I never said it was a well-coordinated plan, I said the "coordinations look dismal".
The outcome of this war was already determined before it had begun. The Russians are making a lot of mistakes, but with the outclassed strength, they have a lot of room to maneuver.

Dude, this is an actual war, not a RTS. Even RTS have fog of war.

Yeah, and I’m not twelve and don’t and have never sat on my ass playin’ video RTS games.
You can’t claim, on the one hand that everything is going according to plan, as if you know that, and then, that if things aren’t going to plan, that you don’t, necessarily, know that.

There are plenty of others, here, that you can agree with. Address them!

Dude. Once again, this is war. Nothing goes to plan on a tactical scale, especially if you are expecting a thunder run with minimal resistance. Strategically, the Russians are doing exceptionally well so far.
