> they have no sovereignty since the color revolution. apparently they do since they continue to fight :)  > they're vassal states, we bought off their elite and they do what we want, which is sacraficing themselves to 'weaken' russian  then why are ukrainian people in favor of continuing to fight? > except they haven't weakened russia at all). lol. russia is a vasal to china and india economically. russia can't even protect armenia. russia's gdp is mostly government spending which means they will deal with horrible inflation. the war is crippling their offensive capabilities for years to come. a sizable chunk of their most productive people are dead or left and won't be able to work and provide for the economy which exacerbates their already bad population issue.
