I don't think even Putin realized the war in Ukraine would result in the US staging a silent coup of western Europe. It's obvious now in hindsight Russia's economy would be fine going into the war, despite harsh sanctions by NATO. What isn't obvious is how Europeans would sell themselves out to American energy and food suppliers. This whole thing has been a godsend for American companies running out of people to exploit in the US as its working class never recovered from 2008.
Oh yeah the US has been doing this for centuries at this point. I'm just surprised the Europeans didn't realize they were getting played, given they invented colonialism. It's a real "leopards for eating people's faces party now eat faces of people who let them out of the cage."
