I don't know whether Russia will become successful in conquering eastern Ukraine. But one thing is sure. By the time the war ends, German economy will be in ruins. The sanctions did what WW2 failed to do. There is no hope for German industries. They are done and dusted, and the Americans and the Chinese are quick to fill the vacuum. Everyone is talking about how the Russians are going to suffer as a result of the sanctions. No one talks about the impending layoffs and recession in Germany. Just wait for a couple more months, and by then everything will be clear.
