You don’t need to be some geopolitical genius to know that this assessment is correct - Russia simply doesn’t have the economic and logistical power to engage in a wider European conflict with any prospect of success, and this was perfectly clear even before Russia invaded Ukraine and before everyone lost their minds to Putin-hysteria.
Good thing Russia isn’t making friends with China and India,
China has no friends - it’s like the US in that regards. And India even struggles to project power within it’s own borders, never mind outside it.
China could help Russia logistically, but Putin (and all of China’s other “allies” - and I use that term lightly) understand fully well that China’s “loyalty” can switch at any time - just ask Jonas Savimbi if you don’t believe me.
There is a total of 0 chance that India would actively aid Russia in a war against NATO. Especially if Modi and Trump are the respective heads of state.
Germany’s going to regret that if Putin decides he can start marching through Poland.
Part of me would like to see him try and march through Poland. It may be the quickest way to end Putin
“Throughout the war, U.S. officials have assessed that President Vladimir V. Putin is loath to expand the war beyond Ukraine’s borders.”
Oh, well, I’m relieved now. Everyone knows that the U.S. has never made incorrect assessments, let alone intentionally incorrect ones.

Good thing Russia isn’t making friends with China and India, who could collectively give them a ton of support, am I right?

China is already helping Russia.

Modi just had a big state visit to Russia.
I don’t need to ask Jonas Savimbi, I’ve been reading current events.
As I’ve already said… China could help Russia logistically - but this help could disappear in a puff of hot air tomorrow. Again… China has no friends.
And this doesn’t mean much in any way whatsoever.
Actual history will tell you a lot more than warmed-over propaganda.
Why are you talking about actual history when you want me to ask something of a dead person?
