>>60894439they'll keep fighting until they stop; sure, they can buy most anything, and yeah, they've a somewhat large supply of meat for the grinder, but this isn't a war russia needs to be fighting, it's only existential for putin and his allies in the kremlin, and the effect on the russian economy will be felt by most everyone, oligarchs and poor alike.
the apathy of the russian people runs pretty deep but i think it's a mistake for putin to count on it lasting.
they'll have to stop because they can't win, because they're never going to take kiev, and they'll eventually have to push for a ceasefire that guarantees territory captured and crimea.
zelensky will presumably, and rightly, tell them to get fucked and keep pushing back - i'd expect a russian withdrawl after that.
we'll know in a year, perhaps sooner - you can't call it now though...
