You have perfectly described 1/2 of the truth but revealed the real reason for the war, your dream of destroying Russia. This was dreamed up by Woke before Woke went for broke. Russia is going to end this war on terms that NATO will accept. The US has tried to keep Russia separated from the EU and suceeded with this war. However, Russia is aligned with India, Brazil, China thru Brics which will further subplant the PetroDollar with a gold back currency. The days of the US dictating to the world who can buy what or from who are fast coming to an end because of Obama and Biden.

Almost continuously, from the Bolsheviks to Putin, Russia has been aggressively expansionist and hostile to the United States and other Western nations. The brutal and destructive criminality of Putin and his circle are what puts Russia at odds with the EU and the US, not wokeness.

As for the BRICs currency scheme, it suffers from the problem that the primary members cannot and do not trust each other. Even now, for example, Russia has a large balance in rupees on deposit in India but no practical way to spend it or convert it efficiently into a transactional currency like the dollar.
