Is going after these dark fleet ships with the military a good strategy?

Reduces Russia’s exports/revenue, so yes?

The west constantly ramping up sanctions and means of combating Russia’s illegal avoidance of sanctions through the shadow fleet certainly is a problem for Putin.

But on one hand, the message might not be for Putin, but for anyone in the country who has seen how much damage Putin has done to Russia’s future, and how much more damage Putin will do to Russia in 2026. I don’t think the military and the oligarchs want some kind of nuclear war resolution to increasing western pressure. If that remains Putin’s only choice, that is scary as hell, but probably increases the chance that Putin will be overthrown.

My bold 2026 prediction is that China will make a move on disputed territory in the east, leaving Putin with no allies to assist him and continuing the war. Putin’s only response, given the paper tiger military they possessed now, will be to stop selling gas and oil to China. Which will crater the economy and the ability to engage in war with anybody.

OTOH, China would be smart to wait until Putin is overthrown and there is a power vacuum to start its reclamation of Chinese territory in the northeast. I think China’s long-term interests are better served by seizing Russian land than by aiding Russia in its war now that Russia’s military has been degraded to such a great extent.

I think it is inevitable. But timing is everything. Kadrov should be close to croaking. When that happens, all the tribes that hate his family and Russia could decide to go separatist again. If Moscow was terrified of Prigozhin’s march, they should shit bricks worrying about Chechnya. Trouble in Chechnya would be a fantastic time for China to act. I can’t imagine that Putin could survive. either of those two events, let alone two.

Is China too dependent on Russian trade to make a move like that? I agree that some kinda "acquisition" of Russian territory is likely, but maybe not yet?

I know nothing about anything, I’m just throwing my ignorant thought nuggets out to the board. But I do think that Chechnya and China both see that Russia’s military and economy are degraded to the point that they can present no serious opposition to either.

Here’s the thing about Russia: being the bully who will not honor any agreements, and who will happily kill civilians to obtain a return of the Russian empire - well - that does not endear you to people. Russia has no supporters beyond the rogue states who get a benefit from Russia. Chechnya obtaining full independence from Russia benefits Chechnya. Right now Russian support only benefits a dying warlord. China can claim Russian territory without the world being outraged. When you threaten to drop nukes on the rest of the world, they will hardly cry when China seizes some of your disputed land. And China can always agree to diminish the size of seized territory in exchange for continued Russian bargain basement petroleum. How else can Russia obtain funds as it tries to continue to exist? I don’t think Russia wants to engage in a nuclear war with the west and China.

So in summary:
