This is at least a decade of rebuilding even if it had the US economy and without Russia's known corruption.
It is way more than a decade. Russia is currently building about 250 new tanks a year. It will take years to reconsitute their armored divisions and that doesn't even consider the replacement of their strategic armor reserves that they have lost in this war. They can't replace their armor reseves in the short or mid term.
Those reserves had tanks and IFV's dating back to the start of the Cold War, almost 70 years of production. That's gone, and it isn't coming back in our lifetimes.

It must first completely rethink and rewrite its military doctrine before it decides what it needs to supply it with. It did this unsuccessfully after Operation Desert Storm when the US defeated not just Iraq but Russian military doctrine which Iraq execute as written

I don''t really see a path forward for Russia as a major world player after this. After the display of military arms Russia has presented for the last 4 years, no one, including the Europeans, is scared of the Russians.
China is the major benefactor from this war. If I had to name a "winner" today, it would be China. The cynical part of me thinks that China knew Russia was in deep shite without China's help and purposely worked to prolong the war to deepen Russia's debt to it.
ETA: In effect China did everything it could to prolong the war in order to weaken Russia. Its plausable.

Visual representation of all the drones and missiles used last night and their travel paths.

Interesting, I wonder if this will be linked to Russia?

Russia is at best a regional player like Turkey or Poland or Ukraine. It's days of being a global player are long gone. Ukraine just exposed how fall it has fallen on the world stage.

Interesting Graphic
In January 2025 Russia had around 113,000 sq km of Ukraine, in January 2026 they have roughly 118,750. So for the year, they gained 5,750 sq km.
To give that number perspective, its about the same amount of land as Los Angeles County or 80% the size of Rhode Island.
In regard to Ukraine's landmass, 5,750 sqkm represents .95% of Ukraine's pre-2022 footprint. So Russia's efforts for 2025 gained them less than 1 percent of Ukraine. Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Russia's military doctrine is a complete shite show and the arms that it dictates it so
Is there anything more embarrassing than Russia arming up Iran with 400 series SAM systems. And Israeli pilots posting selfies over downtown Tehran at night in F-35s? Totally useless against western technology.
We then go in and completely eliminate Venezuela's entire air defense system, kill a few hundred of their guys, and fly away with their president. All without losing a single soldier.
Who is gonna buy this garbage going forward?

All arms purchases involve world class bribery of the political leaders of the purchasing country. These combined costs are a major reason the Third World remains the Third World.

Yet another demonstration by Putin that he controls Trump and can humiliate him any time he wants. Last Thursday TACO announced that he had asked Putin to stop attacking the Ukrainian electrical power grid and Putin had agreed to a one-week cease fire.
That lasted four days, then Putin showed the world who is boss. Again. And we know why.
To top it off, TACO is so weak and out of touch he is blaming it all on Biden.

Trump: "I did call up President Putin and he's agreed -- they have the same cold wave that we do, maybe different because it's pretty far away, but it's the equivalent. And Ukraine is a very cold country, it's much colder than us. It's colder than, on average, Canada or colder. I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for a period of one week and he's agreed to do it."
A weak and heavily compromised fool.

If Graham is serious about bringing this war to an end, he should work to force the DoJ to release the rest of the Epstein files. That would remove Putin's control of TACO and give the US government the freedom to stop the Russian attacks.

Estonia detained a container ship with a Russian crew on suspicion of smuggling cargo from Ecuador, Estonian outlet ERR reported. The vessel was sailing under a Bahamian flag and heading to Saint Petersburg. Police said the ship is not part of Russia’s shadow fleet.

It could have been deregistered by the Bahamas thus stateless

Cocaine. Guayaquil is a major smuggling port for cocaine. Most of the drug violence in Ecuador is turf wars in Guayaquil for control of the smuggling. Probably headed to Russian mafia who then give a cut to the Putin goverment.
