On the contrary. Russia is becoming a country about which no one needs anymore to care.

 

Merely a middling vassal of China.

 

The longer this war lasts, the stronger Russia becomes.

It's like a football team. The more games you play, assuming you have a good coach, the more experience you get and with that experience comes a refined, fluid machine.

Sure, the same will be the case for the Ukraine but they are but a dance partner, a short one with limited potential. The only real benefactor here will be Russia (and of course the various arms manufacturers from NATO)

 

If China is smart it will let Russia pretend it is still important often enough that Russians themselves believe it (admittedly a low bar). Do that & they can continue to pull the strings as long as it suits them.
