Whereas everybody expected the situation to last not much more than a few weeks at the very most and the rest turning into a long and painful war of attrition that Russia can only lose at, the commentary has turned on its head and folks are now predicting the situation spreading inside Russia and considering potential of extraction of territories recently occupied by the former empire. Which is totally completely possible. RE: the china situation, there's going to be limited support from them I imagine, and this might precipitate a rapid loss in traditional allies for Russia. Who wants to be friends or allies with a loser bully who it turns out took steroids to bulk up cannot even fight and now it turns out their weapons are crap too. Countries in the Middle East will be going through a lot of re-alignment I imagine, because they can't count on the Russian presence to 'balance out' anything, as if that was ever a serious possibility anyway.
Sounds stupid when I put it like this, and yes nobody wins wars ever, but Ukraine might actually come on the top out of this situation all things consider.
