there is no way russia could expect to be equal with either the US or the EU

they aren't in the same league economciually at all
russia have no technology at all .....small countries like Netherlands have more tech than russia ....South Korea and Taiwan way way more !

the principals of the US and Europe are that nations have the right to chooose .......russia wanted a "sphere of influence" where they get to bully and dictate to their neighbours ....prior to putin there was a chance for russia ......putin destoyed that !

now what has happened .....not only has a big NATO wall been being built in the west ......Kazhakstan deserting russia in the east and criticising the russian war ......and other central asian countries being wooed by China - we can ghuess how THAT will work out !
And in the south Armenia are also pissed off with russia and deserting them .......... Sweden that has had no military alliances for 2000 years has joined NATO because of this war .......and the epitome of neitrality , Switzerland has also come out in support of Ukraine and opposition to russian aggression !!!

in short .......russia threw their weight around to gain prestige and influence .......and lost it instead !!
all down to putin .....failed leader .....failed diplomat .....failed military leader !
