    I wonder if Russians would be dissapointed to learn that here in the West, few people think about them at all. Not necessarily a good thing, Ukraine needs our continued support, but still. Russia’s basically less newsworthy than a d-list celebrity’s latest affair.

      They know, they are counting on it. The news cycle moves on, people forget and then things like elections happen. Then policies change and support for Ukraine fades away. As soon as that happens, they get to commit genocide and claim the country for themselves.

      At the same time China is taking notes, so they can figure out how long you need to fight a war and get away with it. They have a couple of countries they have their eye on at the moment.
