Because of Putin’s monomaniacal fixation on Ukraine, he has been willing to sacrifice other geostrategic projects elsewhere. Rather than act as a swaggering great power that could shore up illiberal leaders, Moscow has been outed as a government that can do neither. We’ve started to see a Russian variant of a domino theory emerge—one that has begun gutting Russian interests elsewhere, and illustrating, as few other things can, just how atrophied Russian power projection has become.

Putin’s unnecessary and illegal war of expansion would’ve ended by now; were it not for countries like China, Iran, and North Korea, aiding in that aggression.

Nothing happened in Georgia, Transnistria or Belarus in the end.
