Your problem of course is that Putin is finished. The myth of Russian tanks rolling over Europe and NATO is no more than a joke now, Ukraine will kick Russia out of its country, China may even take a bite out of the East. Meanwhile the self generated myth of military power is disappearing by the day, political power around the world will turn to laughter as everyone sees what a complete arse Russia is making of its SMO. It’s tanks are now just mobile coffins, it’s airforce seems to have forgotten how to fly and it’s Navy is now hiding, hell it couldn’t even hold onto Snake Island. The Chinese have them over a financial barrel and will treat them like the third rate power they have suddenly become and its exports of junk military equipment and even oil and gas has prices dropping like a stone. The Elite will understand this, they are losing money, they can’t holiday in the nice places in Europe, sanctions may continue way after Ukraine wins the war. They are screwed…thank you Mr Putin…..
