After all these sanctions, I doubt Russia will even control parts of Ukraine it 'liberates'; but then again I don't have the Coli Certs for Foreign Policy, I just see Russia as being crippled by the sanctions. As its not like previous ones, but everyone unloaded a neg train on Russia. Not only that, but you got countries that want to join NATO, or speed up the process, even Kosovo is begging for a US Base.
I think as well, its not just the sanctions, but also people cutting ties with Russia. Also even if Russia joins with China after getting kicked out of SWIFT, I am sure transitioning is going to have its major downsides because if you look at the UK after Brexit, it's still not easy to adjust to something your used to.
It makes me wonder now how US Elections will go in the Midterms/2024, just how much influence did Russia have on us? There will always be dark money, but like, now some prospective/incumbent politicians will have less money to work with and it's not even primetime for those ads.
