Russia Has Lost The Ukraine War. There Will Be Consequences
I have come under criticism lately from those who challenge my view that Russia is in decline and is not a threat for the foreseeable future. It can certainly revive, but that was unlikely even before the war, and revival after a war does not happen quickly.
At the heart of the criticism is my claim that Russia has lost the war in Ukraine and the associated belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s control is in peril.
