View submission: How the West Was Lost
Although I agree the Russian economy turned out to be robuster than projected, they can't finance the state endlessly on credit. Sooner or later the bill is due. Either they have to cut services (pensions, healthcare, etc...), increase taxes or they have to inflate their debt away. So far they've managed to hide the costs of war from their people, but I doubt they can't do that for a further 3 years.

You're forgetting that President Trump will cut American aid to the Ukraine.
A further three years? Without American dollars, Kiev will fall like Berlin in three *weeks.*
