- ggm 4y ago"Russia is on the brink of a decisive victory" is a truly remarkable assertion. I wonder of he will edit that out in some future time, and how long is "on the brink" militarily speaking? Ending the dependency is huge, especially if it's wind and solar and battery backed: it's a technology paradigm shift. What will Russia trade with the West once gas feed stops? Maybe direct products: plastics, pharma and fertiliser. That's decades off. Something for a new polity to explore, when it happens. Gerontocracy aside, structural change to a desire for peaceful bilateral engagement will be necessary.
