We can hope. I think the plan DC has is to turn Ukraine into another Afghanistan-life quagmire for Russia. Every dollar the US spends shipping some cheap weapon to Ukraine will likely cost Russia $10, so even if Russia wins, it becomes a very expensive victory. I feel sorry for the Ukrainian civilians, who the US is sacrificing as pawns.

Long term, I agree, it looks like the petrodollar is finally collapsing as Russia, China and India switch away from it. Once that new system stabilizes, a host of other countries that the US has been shitting on for decades in Africa, the Middle East and South America, will also likely jump on board.
