Russia can not dominate *ANYTHING*. Its economy is about the size of Australia's despite having nearly four times the population. Its much-vaunted military could not defeat a minnow like Ukraine.

Yes, Russia has nuclear weapons but no one would commit suicide by using them.

Russia is dying, so are Italy, Japan and China etc.

How is China dying??

I assume is referring to the mean ageing demographic of those country.

And yet, Russia has bent the US to its will regarding Ukraine. Curioius.
