Die imperiale Falle: Russlands Krieg in der Ukraine und die Lehren aus gescheiterten Eroberungen

Submission statement:

This article tries to give a objective analysis of the Ukraine conflict from Moscow’s perspective and comes to some interesting findings:

1) Putin’s Russia is doing better than Russian regimes in prior failed expansions.  Russia has been able to blunt many of the down side effects of international sanctions.

2) Nevertheless the I’ll effects of the war are growing.  If current efforts to obtainable terms do not work out, Moscow may face a rapid decline in its fortunes.

3) Post war, much of the Costa that are kept in check by temporary measures will come due.  Russia will face a weakened international position and deep social and economic ills.
