Russia has almost 4 times Canada’s population and it’s official (probably falsified) GDP is only 80% of Canada’s. This war must be doing a lot of damage to their economy. It’s also taking productive labour out of the workforce and saddling the economy with thousands of disabled veterans, widows and orphans.
Best case scenario in my opinion is total economic collapse of Russia and dissolution.
Isn't that what Putin says the West wants? And doesn't anyone who remembers the collapse of the Soviet Union have a fairly good reason to fear that scenario?
