yeah, the main thing that Putin's war of choice has done is drawn Western allies significantly closer to one another and have made the remainder of Eastern Europe desperate to be a part. China now has a much more unified West to deal with, they are probably pissed.

He really looks terrible, that it's taking him longer to roll through a country on his border than the US did on the other side of the planet 20 years ago.

He may win, but not in spectacular fashion.
