It seems like the only country winning here is China. They are basically disarming their two biggest world rivals. We’re using up our reserves supplying/fighting a war with no national interest at stake and Russia is down to pulling old crap from the far east. Who might the Russians be facing off against in the far east?
This war is helping the West and America and their allies to improve their weapons situation and warfighting capabilities.
Look at what the West is replacing these old stocks with and how the countries are firing up their weapons manufacturing base, all while increasing weapons sales and foreign markets while the Russians are depleting and losing foreign markets.
YEP. XI has Putin on a leash.
