While the author correctly describes that the US accomplished it’s goals, causing pain and loss for both Europe and Russia, calling the US a winner is inaccurate. Just because you checked off a list of previous goals doesn’t automatically make you a winner. The US may have slowed their own demise but the replacement of the US dollar as the sole reserve currency is well on it’s way. The alliance with Europe is crumbling and even the US’s own citizens are questioning the wisdom and benefits of prosecuting this proxy war. As usual there are no winners in most wars and in this one  that is especially true.                              https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/there-only-one-winner-ukrainian-war-us
