The US pushed Ukraine into a war with Russia hoping to bring economic ruin, discontent and regime change. It's all in black and white: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html

Problem is, it completely backfired and Russia is getting stronger while the EU is suffering.

As it is, I see two potental outcomes militarily - 1) Russia wins 2) we all die in a nuclear war.

Some ppl think that nobody will be stupid enough to use nukes. I think that is an extremely risky bet with everything at stake.
