They want to poke the bear. Fuck around and find out. Russia is not a beast to mess with. All we can do now is pray we won’t have a world war 3 on our hands to prevent Trump taking office. 🙏 As mad as this looks we knew the cornered rats would pull the trigger on this once they ran out of options.
Putin isn't too worried about the 10 miles of land the Ukrainians are barely holding. While these forces are occupied there, they aren't available to reinforce Ukraine's forces elsewhere, which is why Russia is making moves and breaking Ukrainian lines elsewhere.
This is more likely a response to the breakthrough in western Ukraine via Moldova. But gotta keep the moral up by reinforcing this idea that a small group of Ukrainians are going to make a difference in Kursk.
Another way to look at is Putin making sure Nkorea has some skin in the game if it wants to be a trade partner. We use allies and proxies all the time. It's no different.
As for interest rates, you assume that Russia and China are still playing by Western rules. Sun Tzu.
You think 47 western countries are the target buyers for Russia's exports? No, it's the other 148 2nd and 3rd world countries that require all the things that Russia produces in spades. Food-Fuel-Fertalizer.
