Human liberty will fall regardless...
Putin uses the Islamic nations and will continue to do so to his advantage..and this to his demise when all is said and done.
Additionally China will come into play on the war map....in time. They nor Putin will not go out peacefully. They have their agenda of how things will run.
When all is said and done their will be Global Governance....and all nations will yield to it.
And yes, the USA will be too weak to do much about it...outside using us for NWO Military Security on the World Stage to keep nations in line. But under the control of the NWO Powers that be then.
Both the US and Russia should have learned by now that drawn-out, politically-correct semi-wars don't work so well. Either go in there to smash hell out of the enemy (and first you have to name the enemy), or don't go at all.
