I wish the media, especially conservative media, focused more on this point rather than partisan politics. Putin’s hubris coupled with Ukraine’s bravery is reshaping the world for decades to come. Instead of fomenting chaos, the war is expanding Western influence, solidarity, and military power. There is no true victory for Russia, even somehow seizing all of Ukraine, at this point, would still be an economic, geopolitical, and military loss over the following decades. China gains a northern vassal and discounted energy, but I question whether that makes up for the setback of a reinvigorated Western alliance. All this for Putin’s pride? He set Ukraine up for the role of morally righteous heroic defenders, and they are exceeding all expectations in living up to it. Giving the West an existential threat with a moral cause to support that aligns with their long term pure self interest is dumbfounding.
