When this war ends, it will only end for Ukraine.
The economic warfare opened on Russia will continue for a very long time and Russia will not be able to win that war. Russia's military capabilities will deteriorate as other countries continue to build new weapons and develop new technology that is simply unavailable to Russia.
Perhaps a Russia leader will come along who knows better than try to expand territory forcefully.
There is a definitely am aspect of this being a .proxy war. But considering how much the US has spent since WWII to keep first the Soviets, now the Russians in check, bankrolling the Ukrainians to soak up and degrade the Russians military capability makes perfect sense. The Russians will likely come out of this misadventure much weaker
I agree.
Putin was not planning to burn up so much hardware and ammunition. He doesn't care about the people who are incinerated in those tanks, so long as it is not him.
The failure of Russia’s subversion of Ukraine is why the head of the FSB Fifth Service, General Beseda and his deputy were arrested shortly after the invasion started. He is already in prison (the infamous Lefortovo Prison) for his failure to bribe and set the conditions for the invasion. Putin also purged a further 150 FSB officers.

"The American system has been hacked," Pravda quoted him as saying. "And our secret development will be deployed in all directions. A good system, I can't name it yet, but it works at much greater distances, instantly fixing the launch site. For the Americans, this was a very unpleasant surprise."

I’m not sure who is hurting worse from this economic warfare that was meant to crush Russia. They haven’t came close to collapse, and have commodities to continue feeding and fueling their country, meanwhile Europe cannot feed or fuel itself, that will become apparent this winter. Returning to normalized trade relations will benefit citizens all across Europe and beyond, I’m ready for that. US has waged plenty of wars in the name of protecting democracy or our national interests, I don’t hate Russia for doing the same even though I oppose all war and hope for peace. This should of never happened but here we are, I guess that is a conversation for another day, but let’s say that global leadership is severely lacking competence right now.
I’ll go so far as to say not only are we losing the economic war (we’ve entered a recession, EU is getting hit even harder), we’re also losing the military war. We don’t seem to have a strategy or anyway out of this either which is frightening. It’s beyond time to wake up and change course but we have a president asleep at the chair and I’m afraid special interests are running things.
