Personally I don't think whatever the Ukraine result will be will make a difference. Those countries and a vast number of the western governments and population already believe that about the 21st Century. I fear westerners have been outwitted.
”For the West to abandon Ukraine now would allow Russia and its authoritarian friends in China, Iran, and North Korea to believe that the 21st century is moving their way—into a future of brutal armies, cowed populations, and endless lies.”
