Russia wants to be perceived as a big power, but Ukraine is destroying any notion of that. Fantastic!
It seems that Russia has not really thought this invasion through. They must have been planning on Ukrainians to just give up. Becuase it seems they are not preparred for a lot of these asymmetric attacks agaisnt opponet who can easily blend in within your domestic population.
How is Russia planning on rebuilding its military might wnen they blew their natiot wealth fund already and economy is now to manufacture weapons which then literally get used and nothing to show for it.
Old men ruling countries is a national security issue at this point. These people’s egos are driving a lot of these idiotic decisions. Trumps behavior is another prime example of this.

China & North Korea.
Russia just got handed a bunch of war material by NK, probably acting as a proxy for China. China will prop them up to put pressure on the EU, while also gaining more internal control over Russia.

If Russia going to rely on Chinese supply, then they essentially traded their geopolitical independence for geopolitical herpes, ie a failed war against a neighbor that pissed off most of the world.
