Russia and India sent modules to the moon, the Russian module crashed, will the Indian one crash?

There will be a successful lunar landing

Russia has been trying to catch up for 47 years, and India is solving the mistakes made in 2019.

There is not just a lunar race going on in the world right now, but a battle of concepts: human space exploration against purely utilitarian use of the moon. The US has a clear goal. Deep space exploration, exploration of Mars. That's why the station is called Gateway. The Chinese are focused on resources. India is trying to repeat the achievements of the PRC.

Luna-25 crashed. What is Russia's place in the lunar race now

What is Russia's path?

First it will restore the USSR, then it will start a war with China.

After the coup in Ukraine in 2014 and the failed coup in Belarus in 2020, Russia realized that if nothing was done, the country would face war. Therefore, an association of countries like the European Union will be created. Belarus will be the first to enter it. Due to the sanctions in the country, almost the entire high-tech sector depends on supplies from China. With sanctions, high levels of corruption, high taxes and the elites' disinterest in change, Russia will not be able to resist the Chinese economy. Eventually, China will displace all competitors, including domestic companies, and will dominate the country. There is no progress in creating a competitive economy. Chinese specialists will move to the country en masse, displacing Russian specialists. When Russia tries to restrict China, China will act militarily.

Moscow takes all taxes for itself, and then distributes them by region. The regional elite is not at all interested in the growth of business in the regions, since its well-being depends on the ability to ask Moscow, and not on the growth of the number of enterprises. It is impossible to conduct business legally in the regions without paying bribes and fines. The legislation allows businesses to be blocked for 30 days in case of violations, so businesses pay bribes to avoid being blocked. A 47% tax and a 13% credit rate also do not contribute to business growth. Compared to the Chinese tax of 12% and the credit rate of 0.02%. Despite the fact that China spends money on cargo transportation, it is more profitable to produce and buy in China than in Russia.

The East is a delicate matter. The war has increased Russia's economic dependence on China

What does China mean for the Russian economy

What will Kazakhstan's current policy towards Russia lead to?

Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan have agreed to launch a new multimodal Southern Transport Corridor, which will bypass the territory of Kazakhstan. The new route solves two tasks: to avoid obstacles arising on the Kazakh border for goods going to the markets of the Russian Federation, and to transfer part of the cargo flow to the port of Astrakhan. This will deal a blow to Astana's plans to make Kazakhstan a full-fledged transport hub in Central Asia and the Caspian region. The route from China through Kyrgyzstan will become a very serious competitor to the route on Kazakhstan railways.

Moreover, this blow to the plans of the President of Kazakhstan is inflicted from the Kazakh side, and not from Russia or Kyrgyzstan. If the transit of goods went without delays, then no one would be against using the territory of Kazakhstan as a hub. Astana's decision not to violate Western sanctions imposed against Russia was only a catalyst for the initiative to create an alternative transport corridor bypassing Kazakhstan

What will happen to the SVO after the past events (the departure of the PMC Wagner and the bombing of Belgorod)?

The goals of the special military operation in Ukraine will be adjusted.

Russian politicians allow an early adjustment of the goals of the NWO. They want to protect all regions of the Russian Federation from shelling, including new ones. According to a number of military and politicians, the only effective way is to take control of the entire territory of Ukraine.

Russia's lack of reserves will be made up for by the autumn conscription. A new offensive will be launched deep into Ukraine.
