I see 2 possibilities. 1) Russia wins, and 2) we have a nuclear blowout - when Everyone loses - and probably is dead. The United States never had to fight an existential war. The nation's survival was never in question. I don’t know what plans Napoleon had for Russia after he was going to conquer it. But the German Nazis - afaik - were planning to chase all the surviving ethnic Russians beyond the Urals - and re-populate the European territories with people who would be racially superior - and preferable. Ditto for Ukraine - that’s why they imprisoned Bandera, once he started acting too independent, to their taste... So, WWII for Russia was a truly existential war. On par with the Mongols - probably even more serious. Gengis Khan didn’t want to evict them - just to pay their taxes. As we find out more about plans to “weaken” Russia - in line with Brzezinski’s ideas… about plans for regime change, for “decolonization” - or some other form of splitting it up into a bunch of powerless little countries - it does sound like something existential, from their point of view. I was saying the same thing since the beginning if the invasion - they can’t accept defeat - and they will not. But, in a sense, even if the Russians annex large parts of Ukraine - and work out a “forever” deal about keeping the rest of it neutral - they will lose a lot of their own humanity. This bloodshed will never be forgotten. But - if we get a nuclear blowout - everything would be forgotten - as if nothing ever happened. It will be the End of History. Or, maybe even the End of Everything.
