May be it’s all about the Land! They will posses the land and gain huge natural resources from the same. Though war is heavy they might still get some infra adopted as it is. Once the settlement is grown one more time they will start receiving the taxes, more businesses will bloom which will be working for the Russia. The Black Sea coastal area would be another hot spot for international trades if world still accepts them.
However, I see that war turned out completely wrong here. Russia thought Ukraine is weak country but it turned out to be they are holding pretty good.
So economical situation of the Russia is gonna be destroyed heavily.
I agree with you. That was his goal at first point, but in order to achieve that he has had to also risk a lot of money and take the potential negative consequences of his acts, that are now showing themselves over russian economy and over the russian society as a whole, considering the thousands of dead soldiers already. So it seems this war isn't going to be eventually profitable for Putin in anyways...
Maybe he calculated everything wrong or just didn't calculate anything at all. And even on the worse scenario, that is, if Putin decides to use his nuclear power, there won't be any profit on it after all, since the impact of such armament on the environment is completely devastating, making areas and resources useless or untouchable.
Yes, eventually they will not only have natural resources but will obtain much more Uranium and this will increase the nuclear potential that Russia has since the Soviet Union, this is something really strong, because currently it does not matter how much army you have, or how strong they can fight, when there is such a high nuclear potential, it is like going and sticking your hand into a nest of snakes and pretending never to get bitten, this is something very delicate because it has to do with the health of the entire planet, if they go beyond this it could end everything the world, and those who remain alive will still die due to high radiation, it is a total condemnation, for me NATO has failed, USA, they say: "I support you" but I do not fight for you.
