  1. I wonder if Putin's inner cycle realise that Putin's strategy has handed Russia's sovereignty to the Chinese. Russia is quickly losing its customers in the West, as Russia disappears behind the new iron curtain, into isolation. China does not really need Russian gas or oil, it can take it or leave it. Russia however is no dependant on Chinese support. At the very minimum, China is now in a position to drive a very hard bargain with Russia. So China is now in control. Would not be so bad for Putin, if he had managed to achieve any of the stated goals of this invasion, but he has succeed in revitalizing, what was a moribund NATO. His actions have been the best recruiting sergeant NATO has ever had, with many former Soviet states reconsidering their neutrality in favour of NATO membership. Putin has united the EU and persuaded the member states to greatly their investment in their own militaries. The US, Canada, EU and UK are acting in unity, both military and economically against Russia. Even Switzerland has put aside its neutrality, to impose sanctions on Russia and it's elite. The Russian currency is in free fall and western companies are racing to get out of Russia. There has be an almost unanimous vote at the U.N. General assembly against Russia and it's illigal war. A similar United vote at the U.N. security council. Putin has single handedly, taken Russia back to the 1960s cold war. As a Russian leader, Putin is a complete failure, a pariah and laughing stock. So much for making Russia great again.

  2. The West has made a serious error by allowing Russia to have control of its life support system.
