It's not just about votes. Modern wars can be endless as we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan. And Russia is not foolish enough to do a full scale invasion. They will just send in proxies. No nation wants to commit resources to such wars.

- kingcharles 5y agoPeople never realize how broke Russia really is because Russia plays such a good marketing game.
- ghostwriter 5y agoSome other people also never realise that "broke on paper" means nothing when you are an energy-independent state with arms and a nuclear capacity to protect its territory.
