#1 From Vietnam on after so many conflicts do we see any results that demonstrate success. The Democrats like Biden are great at starting conflicts but never achieve a happy ending. Loss of life and money thrown down the drain. I see no difference today in their blind hatred of Russia. Today's actions by the West have had a major shift away from the West. She's so fine till the money runs out. After all it's for the greater good.

#3 Yes, perhaps this war will essentially dimish Russian influence for a decade or so.

and yes, perhaps this also dimishes the chance for a PRC invasion of Taiwan,

Putin's calculations were probably influenced by Biden administration's incompetance in the Afghan withdrawal.

I cannot tell if this is satire, or if the author is serious. I might be lost in translation. Or missing a point.

#5 Putin's calculations were probably influenced by Biden administration's incompetance in the Afghan withdrawal.

There was little Biden push back before the invasion. At times Biden admin seemed to be giving assent for the rapist to stick it in, but not all the way in.

#6 What if their goal is just to earn a profit exploiting the misery of others in a variety of ways? Maybe they modeled their political interventionism off of the pharmaceutical industry.
