The hypersonic missile Russian just launched into Ukraine said it all. We of course have them as well, but we certainly will not allow Ukraine to use them. Hypersonic missiles are new the leading edge of warfare: non nuclear yet decisive controlled munitions capable of annihilating most any target with no chance yet of deterrence. They travel over 10 times the speed of sound capable of carrying any payload. The one that hit Ukraine was estimated to be traveling 13 times the speed of sound. Russia does not likely have many, but the latest launch was sufficiently successful to change that. New weapons, new warfare strategies, new world. I anticipate a negotiated truce within weeks and Trump will not be to blame. Did Putin time this to make Trump blameless? Perhaps. But that really does not matter. Did he time this now because he was afraid Trump might retaliate in kind? Again uncertain, but unlikely. New weapon, new world.
The US-funded Global Order is dead. Long live the multi-country-funded Global Order.
Sorry Europe... your rich social programs and government pensions will require austerity to help fund the 2-3% GDP you should have been spending on defense instead of funding your low-work, bullet train traveling, wine-drinking life. You effs are the instigators of all world wars and the US tried for 80 years to keep you from blowing each other up. But the US can no longer afford it thanks to the economic raping from China.
China did not need to rape. Biden and his son invited China into America's bed. He has now invited Russia to his bed also. An economic who cannot cry rape.
The belief that Russia is ready to invade Eastern Europe has no basis in fact. Neither does Russia have a goal to occupy western Ukraine. Putin knows that the ethnic Ukrainians hate Russians; after all they joined Hitler to fight Russia. An occupation by Russia would mean constant guerrilla war. But Russia will continue to fight until its terms for peace are met (the 4 provinces and Crimea plus a guarantee of neutrality for Ukraine).
As for the West defeating Russia, this was always in doubt because of the ability of Russia to mobilize a powerful army and to ramp up industrial production of military equipment far exceeding the ability of the West to do so within a relevant time frame. But now the West knows that Russia has this extremely powerful missile that can obliterate an entire complex or army base or worse, and the west has no defense against this new missile. And we do not have such a missile now and are not close to developing one.

A worst case scenario would be a Biden triggered all-out war between the US and Russia, pulling NATO under with him.
