      Agree, but one cannot dismiss the efficacy of the sanctions- they just take time to take effect and must be constantly tightened which they are. Look to the success of shipping companies involved in mid-ocean transfer of oil (shuttle shipping). Tightened in October-November’23. In February 24 over 90% of global shippers had stopped touching Russian oil- even returning it in some cases... Serbia’s economy is still undergoing retardation from sanctions decades after lifting- and they were tiny in comparison to Russian sanctions.

    Having FAILED to prevent Britain from becoming a Russian laundromat - in fact having ENCOURAGED it - having FAILED to foresee the Russian annexation of Crimea and thus failing to prevent it - having FAILED then to make life difficult enough for Russia thereafter - we, Britain AND ALL THE GLOBAL WEST - are HANDING it to Russia.
    Seriously, do we want to risk Russia eyeing us from Calais???

    I witnessed a drone strike targeting a Russian tank just one day ago. Approximately seven soldiers were on top of the tank, hitching a ride, and all of them jumped off before the impact, failing to save themselves. I paused the frame just before the strike and noticed that they were all wearing rubber Wellington boots, indicating a severe lack of basic equipment. Whether you have 10 well-equipped troops or 100 poorly equipped ones, numerical superiority does not guarantee effectiveness. Additional troops require resources for sustenance, clothing, and maintenance, ultimately reducing efficiency. This incident highlights their inability to reach a sustainable level of readiness. It's not about having more troops, but rather about their quality and morale.

    The effects of secondary sanctions are beginning to work their way through the Russian economy. Since the beginning of 2024, banks in Turkey have severed nearly all financial ties with Russia. The UAE (which recently joined the BRICS) has similarly begun exiting the Russian market. Cyprus, once a safe haven for the Russian ultra-rich, announced it would begin partnering with financial crimes specialists from the U.S. FBI to root out sanctions evasion.

      "We"? Not so much. Frankly I don't get the sense Ukraine's allies want Putin out of power or Russia in particularly bad shape. Out of Ukraine, sure, but they'd rather just have the whole crisis go away.
      Problem is Putin's 70 years old and all his inner circle hate each other. Normal dictatorship stuff. At some point it becomes a prisoner's dilema for the guys at the top, you eighter take over or someone else does and gets you executed. So when it eventually collapse a regime like this tends to implode faster tan a minisub full of millionaires.
      Could happen in a week, could happen in four years, but it's coming. That's the dark side of being "president for life", you still have a very obvious term limit.

No way will the Kremlin risk war with NATO and Putin is not foolish enough to attempt another attempt on Kiev after the last disaster. Watch what happens on the NATO side as Russian troops move West.......if they ever get that far which is a big IF at this point.
