Can you imagine a world where imperial Japan and Nazi Germany had lived until now? I see much of them in contemporary Russia.
Why are Japan and Germany so wealthy and good world citizens today? Do they have US puppet governments? Are they picked on by the US?
Ukraine has a liberal democracy, not a US puppet government. Personally I believe that Russians would have been wealthier than Americans today had they adopted a liberal democracy instead of a hate and paranoia inspiring autocracy.
As for the military invasion, I think that the Russian forces will be ejected from all of Ukraine bar Crimea within six months. I get the impression that the invasion has been a complete PR disaster for Putin. The criminality and brutality of the Russian army will bring more severe sanctions, keep the Ukranians fighting and the weapons flowing.
