Putin desperate, Russia on the verge of meltdown

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As North Korea has recently provided military support by sending troops to Russia, Vladimir Putin is now fearing the collapse of his country’s economy after more than two years of conflict in Ukraine.

Experts believe this call for help signals Russia’s weakness, as the country hopes to prevail in Ukraine despite the heavy losses in both human lives and equipment.

Alexander J. Motyl, a political science professor at Rutgers University in Newark, wrote in The Hill that an economic "meltdown" could occur as early as 2025.

He said: "As the Russian economy tanks, immiseration, and social discontent grow, and money dries up, Putin will run out of resources to fuel his war machine."

1. Credit where credit is due...

If things turn out the way I hope they will, I'll be glad to apply the ETTD principle to this one.

I think it counts as "touching" if a certain malignant narcissist was trying to throw his (considerable) weight behind one particular side in this conflict by blackmailing the other side to fake up evidence against his erstwhile political opponent and said opponent's son.

Also touching if said malignant narcissist did any match-making of his two loves.

2. Putin is hanging on long enough for Trump to give him Ukraine and supply him with arms and aid.
