The globalists have won a great strategic victory. Russia, a nationalistic threat to the “new world liberal order” has been shown not to be the conventional military juggernaut or power once so feared. NATO, which is the globalist sword, no longer considers the Russian military a credible offensive threat. The Chinese, who have always coveted Russia’s underpopulated rich Far Eastern/Pacific territories and Siberia also realize Russia cannot defend them conventionally.

Russia has shrugged off sanctions that the globalists intended would cripple it.

The globalists wanted to break Russia into managable pieces and to seize control of its resources. Instead of which: Russia has shrugged off the dollar- and euro- systems and has established the ruble as a commodity-backed currency. Globalist dreams of a single global currency have evaporated.

On the military level: Russia is reminding the world what industrial warfare looks like. They are currently expending over 7000 artillery shells a day in the Ukraine theatre. And in three months of combat, Russia has burned through four times the annual missile production of the United States. Source

Early predictions that Russia had only a few days of fire missions left have just not panned out. There's no sign of slowing fire missions. The firm that makes missile engines for Kalibr just hired 500 new staff.

It's beginning to look as if Russia can sustain this pace indefinitely, at least militarily and economically. They are about halfway through reducing the hardened multi-kilometer-deep fortifications of UDF-occupied Donbass. They have just taken Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk. Siviersk is falling. The hard nuts of Kramatorsk, Sloviansk and Ardeekva remain in the east Ukraine.

Politically: the war remains very popular in Russia. There's ample political capital to support the taking of Odessa and all of the Ukrainean waterfront including (this is key) the outlet of the Danube.

I do foresee a change in force-makeup once the whole of the LPR territory has been liberated. I don't know how far the LPR forces will project force outside of their newly-won territory.

Hope this is helpful.

That is the bottom line. Russia is waging and winning a war of annihilation. Much like we did in Germany 1944-45. Ukraine needs to sue for peace or all of eastern Ukraine will be reduced to rubble. But it appears that the Biden administration is prepared to fight until the last Ukrainian male is dead.
