HAHA! The USA didn't fix anything. It just capitalized on European unforced errors, just like it will eventually capitalize on Russia's unforced error in invading Ukraine in 2014.

What has Russia accomplished this past year? It has depleted its military. A military that couldn't even keep a single air-craft carrier going. It has destroyed much of the land it wanted to keep. At the same time, factories in the U.S. are humming. The U.S. is drilling in the arctic.

Don't believe me. China knows a loser when it sees it too.

The problem with Russia isn't Putin. It's Russians who can't recognize where Russia is strong and where it is weak. It used to be strong in manpower. Those days are gone. What's left? Resources. But Putin is old and lives in a delusional bubble and now Russians will pay the price for generations.
