Maybe the Russians should spend more on drones and less on flags.  Their current military strategy doesn't seem to be working well for them.

Shows how misinformed you are. They are beating 30 countries. They are continuing to take land, and the rate at which they take it continues to gain momentum.

Many military experts on both sides of the conflict are predicting a complete collapse of the Coupkrainian military this year.

While Israel is wrapping up its annihilation of Gaza, Southern Lebanon and Syria, Russia still struggles with the Ukrainian Jokester.

Israel is killing civilians and carpet bombing cities. Putin is targeting military installations and other war-related infrastructure.

Putin is fighting an opponent armed and bankrolled by 30 countries. You cannot intelligently compare a military operation against a nation with the size and population and industrial capacity and military of Coupkraine to the destruction of a walled-in, open air prison that lacks manufacture, banking, NATO allies, land, etc. That's just stupid.

What part of Russia do you think China wants?

I think it wants every centimeter of ground it lost to Russia during the century of humiliation. And I suspect they will get it. The Chinee have long memories. The current detente serves both nations, as they are both resisting US hegemony. I stongly believe that China and India will likewise bury a hatchet that will someday be unburied, in pursuit of avoiding US/EU dominance. The nascent RIC Troika fell apart over China and India's border dispute in the Kashmere region, but as I say, I strongly believe those issue will be put on a back burner by mutual agreement in the very near future. More important interests are at stake then a few dozen miles of ground in an avalanche zone.
