I mean, its undeniably a shit show for the entire region. Russia isn't coming out of this a winner, as they exhausted enormous physical and labor to tentatively secure an extra buffer of land to the west. This is nothing like the occupation of Crimea or Georgia, where they were in and out over a couple of weeks, uncontested.
But the full court press by western states has been equally disastrous. Western military resources have proved far less effective than promised. The Miracle Military Tech doesn't work nearly as well as we claimed. Half of NATO has basically admitted they are neither prepared for nor inclined to fight another global war. The whole continent is seeing a massive upsurge in domestic conflicts, fascist movements, and economic problems. And now what remains of the European colonial project is once again crumbling away from them.
Ukraine will be de-nazified and de-militarized when all the Nazis there have committed suicide by charging Russian artillery in open fields.
No it won't. The fascists running the war in Ukraine are very different than the dumb kids recruited to pound out land mines with their feet. They'll keep suckering in new cadres of young people with promises of God, Glory, and Gold. And Russian mortar fire will continue to turn the rich black-earth fields of Ukraine into a blood soaked hell.
Nobody is winning. Nobody benefits.
