After putin...

So I got to thinking.

The russia's war against Ukraine will eventually conclude. (I'm hoping very much in Ukraine's favor), and given all the reports from various news sources of russia having to dig deep into their arsenal by fielding WW2 era weapons. their lack of replacement parts and having to source out drones from iran (because they don't have anymore of their own);

what will russia be like as a power after the war?

and, needless to say, there will be a vacuum of power internally, what will that play out as? and lastly, will russia as we currently know it, further break apart?

Will china see an opportunity for a land grab?

Real cheap. In more ways than one.
