First of all, Russian economy is not open. It’s a communist country. There is only little trade that can be done. May be oil and other crap. America will have to compromise and stop demonizing communism for good after such steps. It will be so funny. It will be a total soap opera if that happens. Lol

Dependence on Oil is going to reduce going forward with Electric vehicles. Russia will become smaller. No need to fear it.

Its just a world's gas station.

NATO is an old concept that started due to the fear of USSR. It should die.

Agreed. At the same time without NATO, USA is alone. China will start their conquest of world dominion.
 

I think USA is cornered now. Best strategy is to maintain friends at the same time use them to demonize Russia and China. That was the strategy until now. Now T jumped in and ruined it all.

Russia is dying. Nobody cares about them anymore. They don’t even have enough man power to recruit for military. Their weapons have very outdated technologies. All defense associated Indian scientists can attest that information.

It will happen. Already they took over Africa by giving them loans etc.  and half of Asia such as Pakistan, Nepal and Srilanka.

If Europe joins this cult, they are covered. Russia is already in their pocket

Both are dying economies.

Look at the fertility rate and average age of China and EU.

Europe can import people at will...all they have to do is open gates, ready ga unnaru from Africa and Asia...

China might have a problem attracting immigrants though..

I think people overestimate Putin and Russia. 

Very true. Their intrest rates are in mid 20s. Record high. Inflation is very bad. The don't have people joining army. I heard in some video..due to domestic political pressure Putin stopped recruting the army personnel in traditional manner some years back. Contracting companies recruit. Now they are asked to recruit around 35K people per month. They are unable to recruit that number. They have shortage of labour causing the manufactring growth decline, weaker ruble. They can't keep fighting this war. They couldn't keep some of the land gains from 2022. They can't retain the reamaining forever.

If this war continous till end of this year or early next year, Russia will be in worse position. Probably, that was the reason the Biden Govt wanted to continue the war as the Russians were not agreeing for the peace deal. But Trump wanted to end the war asap to gain political points without considering the Ukraine's interests. Some European journalists are talking about Trump wanting to win the Nobel prize by ending the war.

With western countries backing, Ukraine can be rebuilt using the frozen Russian assets. Brussels has around 250B Euros. And UK has around 28B. EU has announced 35B to the Ukrain in 2024, that amount was the profit generated from the frozen assets. UK announced 2B today, this amount is interest generated from the Russian frozen assets in the UK.
