1. It’s ironic we talk so much in the west about US military industrial complex and the US’s incentive to promote war, while the whole Russian economy relies solely (?) upon making war at this point.

   The US can do things other than make war; they just happen to be very good at it.

2. Jap.
   War industry is running. Changing that again would put an end to the economy.
   All the more important to put an end to the whirling.

3. Well “experts” thought the Russian economy would colapse after 6-12 months of sanctions so not sure I can trust their opinions tbh.

4. At this rate the War and general economies will be dead in around 3-4 years max………..

   The public services are f*cked already !

5. The longer the war, the harder the landing.
   Do not stop so that you do not have to book the result.

6. Russia can keep a war economy even without war, so that makes no sense.

7. this makes no sense

8. Sanctions, large drop in refining capacity from drones, brain drain from people fleeing Russia, the massive loss of life from brutal tactics of territory at the cost of massive amounts of people – taxpaying people, the huge cost in trying to replace the staggering and impossible losses.

   There’s literally nothing here where Russia would prefer a long war.
