One year later:
Sanctions didn't ruin Russia and have massively backfired
Russia has been driven into China's camp and even Iran is profiting
Energy crisis has hit EU hard (and other parts of the world especially poor countries) and Nord Stream is history
Inflation has hit EU hard (and other parts of the world especially poor countries)
Ukraine is getting wrecked and no one even dares to report the number of Ukrainian casualties
Russia still occupies a large chunk of Ukraine despite all efforts to prop up / train / equip the Ukrainian army
Where's the OP to explain what went wrong?
I can explain it to you but i can't understand it for you:
* the NATO invasion of Finland is not formal ATM
Finland to formally join Nato ‘within days’, Jens Stoltenberg says
Finland will formally be welcomed into Nato "Within days" after Turkey's ratification of the Baltic country's accession to the western defence alliance, the Nato secretary general has announced.
Stoltenberg will then formally invite Finland to join Nato.
The move by Finland and Sweden to join Nato - condemned by Moscow as driven by Russophobic hysteria - is a severe blow to the Kremlin, which had justified its war against Ukraine by citing Nato expansion on its borderswhich ironically has driven more countries to join Nato.
=> Interesting to note that Putin's genius just managed to double its border lengh with NATO during his 4 days special operation.
