Kherson is one of the main breakouts and Russian forces have broken through but there is sustained fighting.

Its hard to predict the future of Russia. Russia under Yeltsin was heading for ruin. Putin revived it somehow, against all odds. and has since then been talking back territory. Russians are now in all soviet states except maybe kyrgsitan and the Baltics. If any of the "Stans" stop listening to Putin they will be invaded the same day. Just like this.

Russia will keep expanding from now on. This is just the start. At some point the west will sabotage, sanction and degrade their industrial might. And the whole thing will break apart in a massive civil war where all the conquered nations will be free. this could take 50 years if the CIA starts getting busy right now.

But make no mistake, territorial expansion and subjugation of others is their only plan.

Putin revived Russia's failing economy because the US was stupid enough to get involved in Afghanistan and Iraq and drive oil prices to above $100 per barrel. Russia is one of the leading energy exporters in the world and obviously this excess revenue revived the Russian economy.

It is the West that is shooting itself in the foot all the time. After all, all empires must end for some reason.

A thief doesn't enter a slum to loot.
China's GDP was in the top five if not top three during the 19th century. Stop this revisionist bullshit.

Slum is still highly profitable to loot. You can just loot the nobles and enslave the mass. Rich countries are hard to loot, even with sloppy defense, e.g. Carthage.

Not entire Ukraine, only important parts of Eastern Ukraine and now they are fighting to invade the capital.

And it's even scarier when you realize that Russia is not using even 10% of its actual power. I mean Russia can mobilize 3 million troops (including reserved troops) and right now they are invading Ukraine with like 150,000 troops only. They are using only 15% of their active personnel and about 5% of their overall troops.
