This is such a major attempt at cope from America hater Ramon Marks.

Let's look at the points he makes.

His first point is that the ruzzia will have no more friends in the west and will have to prostitute itself to China. Marks thinks this is a win for the east. It's in fact a major loss to the ruzzia, which survives solely on German l, Italian and Turkish machine tools. The ruzzia will lose its access to western capital and technology and this is not at all bad for America.

The second point he makes, is that Europe will reduce its dependency on gas from the russia. Marks believes this is bad for America. Right now the ruzzia get about a billion euros per day, and that will end soon, catastrophically for ruzzian industry. Europe is already pivoting to Aussie, Cypriot, Lebanese/Israeli, Qatari gas and has a plan to import at current levels. That's a great win for the west.

Marks' next point is about how India and China are getting to pick the pockets of the ruzzia. Again this is not a loss for america - India is the world's largest democracy, and an American partner in the Quad.

The author makes the point that 34 countries abstained on the UN resolution concerning the ruzzia. He maybe forgot about the 150 who voted with the west.

The article is dumb and just plain wishful thinking from this America hater. Here are some ways in which america is winning, which he didn't examine

1. NATO weaponry and platforms are getting their strongest advertisement right now. IN and PH are two countries off the top of my head who have recently cancelled military purchases from the ruzzia because their equipment is clearly shit. Meanwhile orders for F35s have gone through the roof in recent weeks. We're getting to live test a lot of modern weaponry and gather masses and masses of data, all of which is very good for the west.

2. The enlargement of NATO - Baltic is now a NATO lake. This is a great win for the west, because we'll no longer have to defend the Danish straights, reducing the potential fronts of any war.

3. Validation of the democratic method - nations like Kazakhstan are leaving the autocrat world. Countries have seen how the west sticks together to defend democratic principles in a way that autocrats don't. This is a win for democracy and all humans.

4. Weakening of the ruzzia - their army is gone, their fleet is useless, their naval air arm gone, their vdv and spetznaz gone, their latest tanks and mraps are gone. The ruzzia yesterday lifted the age ceiling for military service from 50 to 60 (I think it was 60) because they don't have an army anymore. That's a fantastic win for the us and west. Plus it means Moldova and Georgia get to exist as countries for a while longer.

5. Strengthening of Ukraine - as the new poster child for freedom and democracy, any win for Ukraine is a win for the west.
