Can we all agree Ukraine is losing the war??, page-40

DavoMagic,
It's no superpower, Russian soldiers pay rate proves that.
Unlike China it's a true bric, emerging economy.
147 million people the world wants to trade with, resource power house, soon to add half Ukraine plus ports.
Putin will have his people absorb medium term pain while alternate markets establish, India, China, Africa, Latin America, Middle East.
Rouble already stabilised, actually rose with latest sanction and bond hits.
He will manipulate resource prices to keep high.
My belief, not an economist.
