The only thing Putin has accomplished is increasing the size scope and speed of the globalists agenda.

You keep saying that. But the alternative was to do nothing and the globalists would have completed their agenda. Uke militias and Uke army were already massing for a massive assault on the Donbass, NATO was extending an invitation, the Ukes were prepping to go nuclear and to also attack Crimea.

So his choice was do nothing and globalists win. Or fight and globalists still do ok, but at least he has kept them away. He learned the lesson of Munich and knew the expansionist dictatorship could not be stopped by appeasement. He offered several months of attempts to negotiate a settlement. Our response was a blatant and rude F U that we would only talk about topics we deemed to matter, and that didn’t include any of their concerns.

Also, globalists are not doing so well. Half the world including the Saudis have turned on them. OPEC has turned on them. They are in an energy and economic disaster.

Putin saw what happened at Munich when the original nazis were appeased.

Actually Putin's pretty much accomplished what he set to do from the get go. He's got his land-bridge to secure the border and his port areas. Although he could certainly landlock Ukraine from any access to ports etc. he won't do that because he wants a functional Ukraine in trade etc. He doesn't want the nation itself to basically babysit.
