I sometimes wonder why Eastern European citizens keep electing Russian sycophants in key places in their governments. As soon as one country throws one out, a different country elects a new one.
How long until Russia hits a material "wall"(late 2026? 2027?) where it can no longer launch offensive operations and the Kremlin pivots toward freezing the conflict allowing Moscow to lock in its marginal territorial gains in the Donbas, declare the "demilitarization" of Ukraine complete, and spin their costly stalemate as a victory to it's citizenry?
I doubt these countries clutching pearls about having to supply a pittance of military aid to the Ukraine will need to do so much longer. Meh.
The European Commission raised its Russian GDP growth forecast for 2026 to 1.3%, and lowered EU economic growth forecast to 1.1%.

It's pretty clear which side is actually hitting a material wall here. Maybe stop guzzling propaganda there and try engaging with reality.
Me when I lie.
After all these years, the ghost of the USSR still terrifies the European imperialists
You fucking imperial bootlicker. Are you actually serious here? You can't possibly, seriously be both that stupid and that far up your ass at the same time. That's absolutely amazing bro. The country I was unfortunately born into and currently living in, right on NATO's eastern front decided to go straight to 5% in its defence allocation of next year's budget. This nation's GDP has been falling since the late 90s – despite either the parliament or government or both being controlled by the conservative and nationalist right since then – and we're battling with an unemployment crisis caused by the SAME FUCKING RIGTWINGERS, who have long since decided that the best welfare act would be to gut every public service and move towards privatization. You absolute fucking removed calling "a pittance" hundreds of millons of Euros, that are being taken from these countries' workers' services and intentionally being funneled to the pockets of corrupt oligarchs of a far-right state, but you are just too fucking blind to see it! Fucking wake up, you stupid fuck!
