Vladimir V. Putin is making gains in his war on Ukraine while the United States and its allies struggle with soaring energy prices and inflation.

They kept saying Putin miscalcuated in like the first month or so. Things can still change, but I think he’s proven himself to be a master calculator.

While Russia obviously thought things through and prepared for the conflict well, I think most of the credit for the geopolitical disaster goes to the west. If western powers simply ran a proxy war without starting a global economic war, then Russia wouldn’t have gained nearly as much from it.

Cutting themselves off from Russian commodities and energy triggered a massive economic crisis in the west. Meanwhile, seizing Russian foreign assets caused financial exchange to start moving outside of SWIFT and western economic system.

What we’re seeing unfold globally is beyond the wildest dreams of any Russian planners.

I can’t believe they are admitting this.
