Yeah, 2 years seems to be the most typical prediction. Personally I'm leaning towards shorter predictions, I think there's a real chance that Russia's economy can't take that much more without starting to go down a spiral that destroys the populations willingness to continue the war.

To me, it's more like 50/50 that Russia doesn't last another six months, and 50/50 for every six months after that. All they need is one bug bump they weren't prepared for and it all starts coming down. While you can't predict surprises, surprises still happen all the time.

(Although obviously they could also get a windfall from somewhere. Who knows.)
