My assessment is Putin is in a position of power and has nothing to lose and much to gain. NATO will likely fall (fail) as a paper tiger and the US will be holding strings to nothing more than an idealistic memory of what it was like to be considered a world superpower.
If China is watching [which I think they are] the Orient is ripe for total take over without a shot being fired.
The Middle East (oil producers) are already is thinking we don’t need to compete with the United States and will meet with Putin to establish new oil prices for the world market.
There are no upsides to this conflict other than Joe Biden starting WW3 over his and Hunter Biden’s implicit underhanded monopoly on supporting Ukrainian oil production.
Putin has already won and we cannot do anything about it.
I was wondering the other day if they have already started painting our trucks and tanks green from desert tan?

All true, ODNT, ... and a paper tiger has no teeth. Relearning the same old lesson again and again is painful. Problem: Politicians have no blood in the fight.
