Either that or the bet is that it collapses from within. After the soviet union collapsed, russia took over all soviet countries debts upon itself, effectively paying war reparations. Could be similar now. If there is a coup or some dramatic change it would pay some sort of penalties for the current war.

Unfortunately this whole scenario (including talk of reparations) is playing out a LOT like WW1 :(

Not really. This is everyone else ganging up on one nation in particular, which has gone well out of its way to deserve a good ass-kicking.
