Whoever counts on Ukraine defence "collapsing" is high on hopium.
Ruzzia's economy is in bad shape, it may however take a year to get it to the point in which the Kremlin considers that sufficient to stop. Unless... unless the cost is so high and the avance so slow that it simly does not make sense.
Alternatively, there is always a chance of Putin retiring for "health reasons" related to a shot in the head by his own people for example.
Yep. Russia is being pushed to the point where they will have to start using Oreshnik soon. And they are just about ready, since mass manufacturing of Oreshnik has already started.
And the Burevestnik nuclear engine equipped cruise missile is just about ready to go into mass production... can stay in the air for many days without refueling; can fly at 300 feet or less; low altitude makes it virtually untrackable.
With a military ally like China, if the war has to really start with NATO and Europe, Europe is finished. Moscow considers that WW3 has already literally started. When Russia moves, nothing will stop her except wholesale destruction of the West.
Again your obsession with the Oreshnik. Again, this is an ICBM that cannot carry conventional load, it costs 18 million a pop and is technology from the 60´s and offeres ZERO effectivity in a conventional war.
If Ruzzia thought it would be convenient to use, it would have already been used.
