I do see the bigger picture. The Richest people in the world are the Saudi Arabian royals. Israel and Saudi Arabia are normalizing relations. Saudi Arabia is rich because of its oil reserves and its relationship with the USA. Russia is its first competition producing oil. China is now the largest consumer of oil, And the Saudis biggest customer. Russia can not fight a global war alone. China is playing the money game not the war game. The west is changing but not collapsing. Eventually after the poorer countries adopt bitcoin, The  US will do the same and keep the dollar milkshake in place, Where the  IMF prints the currency for 194 countries, All based on the value of the dollar at the Fed, And the fed will buy bitcoin to keep up the value of the dollar. Putin is just getting his wings clipped.
