The only risk was/is backing him into a corner so badly he uses nukes. Well, the necons got their war. We'll see if these imbeciles push him to use nukes.

Russia invaded Ukraine so we could overthrow him... Got it...

Wouldn't say I "missed" it. I didn't read it at all.

He already had those.
If he was rebuilding his military as you say why is he buying Iranian SRBMs and Drones?
A clue... because all of his factories are shut down.
He isn't building shit let alone rebuilding.

Of course we couldn't do that when pure evil like the neocons prefer war with anyone does doesn't bow down to them. Things are getting riskier for the west long term now.

I like how this is your new pivot. The Dollar.
What's the replacement? The Yuan? Laughable... India, which is a lynchpin to this cockamamie theory of yours, isn't particularly receptive to Chinese regional dominance.
As far as dealing with China perhaps you haven't been monitoring the scoreboard lately but they aren't a threat to America militarily or economically at this point.
Pax Americana isn't going anywhere.

Two paragraphs up you blame the neocon's for this. Now its Hardliner's that want war on a grander scale than the already pretty grand scale we're seeing.
Whatever happened to uniting Russian speaking peoples which was your excuse a few months ago?

- Sweden and Finland, on the border, will be in NATO.
- He will be down approximately 2000 tanks.
- 3000 Infantry fighting vehicles.
- He will have almost zero guided munition left.
- Turned a Guided Missile Cruiser and a Heavy Frigate into coral reefs.
- Lost roughly, current estimate, 100,000 troops.
Definitely victory acheived.
#winning
Meanwhile on planet Earth the rest of us can stick to hard facts about this confllict.
Been a pleasure as always.
Decimating your own military setting it back decades.
Destroying any international prestige you might have had.
Fracturing the CSTO.
Expanding NATO.
Losing a ground war to the poorest country in Europe.
Eroding your once iron grip on power (Putin).
