If you compare to how things began in Cold War, it’s far from a win for Russia no matter how much it may take from Ukraine.

SU lost, here we feel some ripple or aftershock. US enjoyed years of prosperity, its people lived in much higher living standards for a long time.

What’s a shame for the US is the innovators dilemma that it was not able to improve its system after the pressure of competition was gone, and now inequality brought you Trump II.



Perhaps saying "Russia made the US lose the cold war" would be more accurate than saying "Russia won". From a lost position, Russia managed to make the US resign from the game.
