beijing should not shake with excitement if russia had no ability to pursue independent foreign abs economic policy.

If it did not, it’s center of gravity in europe means it would be lost to chinese strategic calculation for the foreseeable future.

Why are we saying this dude?

Russia just tied down all of Western Europe to be preoccupied with Europe for the foreseeable future.

Everyone knows Europe is kind of broke, the government spending is stretched thin.

Europeans governments going to spend spend spend and build more aircraft carriers to take on China, or more tanks to take on Russia?

:p

Let see what happen because no aircraft can enter Ukrainian territory without getting downed and remains to see from were those aircraft are going to fly because the Russians destroyed all Ukrainians airfields and if they built more is very likely that those will get destroyed too and if they fly from outside Ukraine then this mess escalated to another level.

And Most of their military bases, their entire air force and most of their mechanized forces. The entire air force has been reduced to a few drones, their military bases are destroyed and now are relaying on a diminishing quantity manpads and ATGM to fight the Russian tanks.
I am not trying to defend the Russians but facts are facts, they are doomed.

I think you misunderstood me. I meant it the other way around.

I wonder how many of those are actually airworthy, lol. I'm sure they will source all the needed spare parts from Ru...oh wait...nevermind.

Maybe from Ukr...oh snap.

Well Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia managed to keep them flying for 30+ years so I'm guessing they have stocks of spares? Anyway, only need to last long enough to kick Putin's halfwit drunken incompetents out then Ukraine can replace them with F16s.

What Russia sells is natural resources, commodities, the most liquid thing in the world. They can sell it in cash, in gold, barter and people will buy it. Cause they need it. Even ISIS was able to sell oil. Russia will sell through third parties who will pay in cash and in turn sell to entities through the banking system. They will just have to provide a discount in oil and gas prices and boom they will sell like hot cakes.

What we will likely see is some short term volatility. But long term Russia will adjust and become even resilient in the process. They still have one of the most self-sufficient industrial bases in the world.

The currency will lose some value which again will lead to higher exports through 3rd parties in a globalized world.

The thing they will lose the most will be arms sales, since that is hardest to do through third parties. But everything commodity based will continue with a discount for sure.

The Indians will probably buy more Russians weapons.
