I’ve seen different perspectives say its either a winning strategy ( they stand to alienate little brother Europe from daddy US, and possibly make them dependent on US natural gas ), or that its a losing strategy ( that in the long term it will only stand to unite China, Russia, India, etc more closely, contribute to de-dollarization, etc)
Do you think the west’s strategy is sound, or are they merely making mistakes typical of dying empires?
They might be okay if they stick to the Donbass, create the new republics, and like you said, don’t let this drag on for too long. I’m sure they don’t wanna have to go through this mess again tho even after those republics get created, and ukraine keeps sending nazi troops.
