If this plays out like it appears to be, this is not going to be something to be cheering about in the long run. Instead of Putin, now you are going to have an emboldened Erdogan that already has his hands in Syria and has mentioned wanting to unite the Turkic people/countries in Central Asia and expanding his brand of an Islamic/Neo-Ottoman Empire. China will be China and always a threat, but only now, they will likely learn a thing or two from this situation and strategize accordingly in Taiwan.
And last but not least... the group I am most concerned about, the globalists and neocons/neoliberals here in America/The West. They will be encouraged to continue on as they have been, if not up the ante. Russia was one of the few countries that stood in the way of their ambitions along with a few of her allies. But at this point, we can expect more tyranny, woke politics, LGBTQ, corrupt economics and eventual erosion of any Constitutional protections we have left. Oh, and not to mention Biden possibly finally getting some kind of win on any column. The guy has done nothing positive or helpful his entire time and it appears that he is going to back into a situation that justifies everything that was done to provoke what is happening in Ukraine right now.
It is good for the people of Ukraine right now to defend themselves the way they have. But at this point, I'm not sure this won't be a long term nightmare for humanity as a whole. The people that are giving us hell right now are going to be the big winners in all of this. Ukraine, and at this moment Russia, are just pawns in a greater game.
