        in terms of geopolitical influence. The U.S. would be too busy tearing itself apart to engage in NATO, support Ukraine, or keep sanctions tight. That gives Russia more space to mess around in Eastern Europe, flex in the Middle East or Africa, and push the whole “see, democracy and capitalism is a mess” idea. Most of NATO is currently struggling to become independent from the USA, but they aren’t yet.

        Total chaos in the USA = strategic win for Russia

          Eh, Ukraine has pretty much ripped the mask off of Russia and shown the world just how weak it is, militarily. China I’d say is who will fill the vacuum left by the decline of the US hegemony
