Yes I have been reading about the inevitable Russia economic collapse for a while in the Western Media.

Russia on the brink as Kremlin faces ‘severe economic collapse’ in just weeks

heh the above was written 9 months ago.

Yeah “wishful thinking”.
I view most Western reporting on the Ukraine War as propaganda with a dash of wishful thinking. There is hardly any reportage of Ukraine difficulty and manpower issues.
Ukraine has managed to stay in the game due support from the West. Today little support from the USA. And NATO are having budget issues [debt increases{1}] due its own rearming as they question whether the USA is a dependable ally.
It is in Europe’s interest to keep funding Ukraine as it bleeds Russia economically and in manpower. But what happens if Russia attacks NATO factories that are manufacturing weaponry & munitions for Ukraine? Or what happens if NATO voters tire of supporting Ukraine due to increased national debt?

The Ukrainian have managed to do extraordinary measures in the defense of their nation.

But I view the Ukraine War as 2 opponents weary & tired flailing punches at each other.
