I half way agree. Russia has the resources to drag this out for years if they really want to. The only way to end the suffering is for Ukraine's allies to step up the aid so Ukraine can push russia out for good and make Ukraine strong enough that russia doesn't ever try again.
So the Russian people will starve while their corrupt oligarchs get richer >

*get richer till they get pulled over a window's ledge into the abyss.. or mistake plutonium for sugar for their tea
you know, the usual >

The USA has a budget deficit of $150 billion, budget deficit means nothing in this case.
As long as russian rockets can reach Ukraine the war will continue...even when the ground forces are driven out.
The only solution is regime change in Russia or a solid air defence for all Ukraine.
Fuck Russia >

Although I agree, I think a budget deficit has more impact in russia than in the US. As the US is a global hegemon there are plenty of countries willing to lend to the states. I believe China owns the majority of the US deficit. Essentially, as there are always buyers, then the US can print cash as it needs. Considering russia's standing globally, there are far fewer buyers for their debt. Even China wouldn't be interested in throwing money there if their is a risk of default. This could strain their already strained economy and rightfully so.

Vast majority of US Debt is held by private individuals, US Banks and the Federal Reserve. China isn’t even the largest foreign holder of our debt, Japan is. >

I don’t think the threat of bankruptcy will beat the Russians. They’re too rich with resources, and still have income streams. Let’s hope NATO and China don’t get directly involved
