Much of what you write is true, but why don't you follow your own logic? Yes, the West is not giving Ukraine what it needs. That is prolonging the war IMO. Whether you're East leaning like yourself, or West leaning like me, no one wants to talk about it.

However, the West CAN deliver more powerful weapons to Ukraine. The best Russia can do is get rickety copies from China. That said, if China got fully behind Russia I can't see the West winning. But China wouldn't mind a weakened Russia either.

So who knows. Human nature is people cozy up to winners. Russia is no winner here. Everyone sees it. Not diminishing anything you wrote. Unless Russia gets a lucky break (like China going in 100%), it's just a matter of time. I don't know the war quote, but, the bigger economies win.

The only countries that say they "support" Russia do so as a bargaining chip with the West, or to get cheap resources from Russia.

You're right at the end. The world order has been wrecked. Russia, through an unforced error, has gone from 2 to who knows where. The U.S. is also declining, so something for everyone ;)
