Russia's War of Self-Destruction

Executive Summary​

Russia’s war against Ukraine has precipitated a large-scale structural decline for the Kremlin across economic, military, and geopolitical dimensions. Domestically, its war-driven economy is consistently strained by rising fiscal pressure, inflation, and structural imbalances linked to continuous military spending. While the war remains challenging for Ukraine to sustain as well, Kyiv has demonstrated it is increasingly capable of sustaining a war of attrition. On the battlefield, Ukraine’s destruction of key logistical targets inside Russia has been weakening the aggressor’s ability to wage war. Meanwhile, Russia continues to lose soldiers at an alarming rate with little results to show for it. Although both sides receive assistance from external partners, these support systems differ in important ways: Ukraine is backed by an integrated and technologically advanced coalition, while Russia relies on more limited, transactional relationships. Additionally, Russia’s broader support network is itself coming under pressure, as recent developments in Iran and Venezuela illustrate a weakening or reorientation of Moscow’s key partners. To make matters worse for Russia, the Kremlin is steadily losing geopolitical influence across many regions of the globe. These dynamics suggest that time is more likely to disadvantage Russia than Ukraine. Premature negotiations would interrupt this trajectory and risk converting Russia’s self-inflicted strategic erosion into a political outcome it could not achieve militarily. The West should therefore pursue strategic patience by sustaining support for Ukraine, maintain pressure on Russia and its partners, and avoid forcing a settlement that rewards aggression.

The penis-pianist needs stroking.

This is gonna go on until Putin or his replacements, end it.

And messily. Anything less than total capitulation will have the City of London and the Israeli Deep State, finding another controlled proxy.
