The good news for Putin and Xi is that they don't have to exert themselves much to achieve their goals. Hundreds of millions of Western people will happily vote for the very outcome Putin and Xi want. Whether it's Le Pen, Trump, Orban, or any of the other far-right morons who are eager to tear down the tattered liberal order, our citizens will eagerly give Putin what he wants by voting for them. As for NATO's military pointlessness, I can't help but agree with the Russian analysis: it's a paper tiger with no teeth any more.
