    Frankly, these NATO expansions and its general re-invigoration are a larger loss for Russia than anything they could possibly gain in Ukraine. Their Baltic fleet is now useless. Kaliningrad is useless.

    Combined with all the other damage Ukraine has inflicted on Russia, they’re basically spiralling the drain and I see no possible way Russia could rise in prominence in the future. Even if goodness forbid they were to “win” the current war they’re fighting with Ukraine, that won’t help them, it’ll only hurt Ukraine.
