Yup, Russia is definitely going to collapse. Maybe in ten or fifteen years, long after it's turned Ukraine into a rubble-strewn gulag. Funny how people like to forget how the war economy pulled the USA out of a decade-long recession and set the stage for thirty years of explosive growth. Funny how despite sanctions never having prevented any belligerant anywhere at any time from continuing to wage war, sanctions are still touted as some sort of pathetic quasi-compensation for total military passivity. In reality, as opposed to the world of self-delusion, only force can quash force. Sanctions and economic projections are for children who want to pretend that violence isn't required. Which is why dictators so often win.
