>>507905934> Russia has infinite oil and gas.Nothing is infinite, especially when you canโt get it out of the ground without Western tech. Production capacity matters
>They can just dump it for anything to exchange it anytime they want.Dumping resources below market price isnโt a winning economic strategy, genius. Venezuela-tier economics
> Even if they get bad rates it really doesnโt matter that much to them.Yeah bro, losing billions a month totally doesnโt matter when youโre funding a war.
> They also have plenty of spare land and a lot of allies which actually know how reliable Russians are.โReliableโ lmao. Tell that to Armenia, Iran and Syria. China and India are taking advantage of discounted oil, not loyalty.
> And Russian arms actually work there is no OEM bullshit and other backhanded contracts when you buy them.Sure thats why Iran's air defence was so successful
> Thatโs actually the only issue, if they run out of people that can/want to maintain their oil/gas.Or if their skilled workers keep fleeing abroad to dodge conscription. They used up all their prisoners and less and less contract soldiers are signing up
> And thatโs not gonna happen in another 100 years kek.Itโs happening right now, kek.
