If the US hadn't interfered in the Ukraine war, the Ukrainians might have been successful in fending off Russia.
1. Without outside interference, their strategy would have been necessarily the strategy of the under-dog, to retreat and use guerrilla tactics which would have worn down Russia over time. Instead Ukraine used a bad strategy of fighting over every inch of territory - which really put Russia in their strongest position.
2. By putting targeted sanctions on Russian Oligarchs, the US made sure nobody could really try to undermine Putin from within Russia. Individually targeted sanctions are something that will probably never be relaxed until the war is completely over, so there's no good reason for any of the sanctioned people to do anything except align under Putin - the sanctions "bound them all together".

Ukraine was, and probably still is a very, very corrupt state. It has NATO and nuclear ambitions. I'm not ever sure if they are Western Civilization. So, where to go from here?

Nobody knows. Depends on how much retarded Europe gets when the US decides to stop paying for Zelensky cocaine.
They could send troops and provoke Russia, installing a draft on their dwindling white population risking civil war, Ukraine could go into full civil war itself to stop Zelensky sacrificing men to Khorne.
The most hilarious one would be for Europe to attack Russia directly in winter with a ground invasion...again.
Putin's Dream is that they will try to impose a draft in European countries, causing civil war more-or-less immediately because European leaders are hated by their people and a draft will be governmental suicide.
The European governments who come to replace them will be friendly to Russia.
Then he is hoping that the west will oust Erdogen from Turkey, replacing him with a pro-west puppet. This will upset the delicate balance between ethnicities in Turkey and cause rising tensions. The reason why Turkey is important to him is because he intends to invade Turkey, overthrow the government, and return Constantinople to the Greeks, re-establishing Byzantium (the Orthodox Christian Empire).
From fighting ineffectively in Ukraine to destroying their economies and importing violent migrants to garner the hatred of their citizens, western governments SEEM to be playing along with Putin's plan. Probably because this plan will re-invigorate their own countries as well.

That would be a favorable outcome. I look forward to the civil war in europe when they implement the draft. For now, europe's plan seems to be limited to turning the EU into a war economy, which is honestly good for business. I hope the EU breaks up before that happens.
I would love Byzantium to be reborn, that would be a glorious day compared to all this faggotry in the west.
Go Putin, kill them all.
Byzantium was a great empire in it's day, I have nothing negative to say about it.
I think the biggest problem for this model is that whenever Putin dies, which will happen, then all hell breaks loose because there is no real conception of a successor. But he could last another 50 years...
I think a big reason why the West is not stopping him is because the Catholic Church has significant power over western governments, but only by conspiracy - and what they'd like is for everyone to become formally Catholic so that the Church can once again stand out in the open and act as a government. This process of delegitimizing and then purging the Godless governments from The West has the benefit for them of revitalizing a Catholic empire - so the world will be split between Catholic in the west and Orthodox in the east. S.P.Q.R.
The big loser here is China, because they honestly accepted Communism, which Russia only did until the point when Lenin died - after that they became an Orthodox country in a Communist skinsuit.
So everybody is out to screw China, and China really has no counter-measure for this, they're in the worst geopolitical position. They have no resources, no oil, they even have to import food. It looks like the plan will be to keep China locked in the trunk and use them as the world's industrial zone / ecological disaster containment area.

I simply do not understand how China is able to pay their bills. Nearly all of their international enterprises are losing money, even when they make money they are foolishly squander it on faulty military tech or on Tofu infrastructure. They prop up bankrupt states like Pakistan, anger every population they come in contact with, and their citizens abroad having expectations beyond the reasonable (Chinese currency is worthless).
The Communists and the Muslims will never prosper, at least you can exchange political freedom for some grade of economic stability - but what do Muslims have to bargain? They are the most deprived, most hopeless bunch Humanity ever created.

Learning from the mistakes of Napoleon and the Nazis a ground invasion into Russia during winter would definitely work /S
Europe can only muster the most half-hearted invasion imaginable, almost like just a pretend invasion for optics before their governments collapse in chaotic elections, civil war or coup d'etat.
