      Openly Nazi states should shrink, especially if the people who live in the affected regions already hold separatist beliefs

      It's even more than that since those regions are higher populated than the western part of ukraine, but I didn't make a normative statement here I just said there's literally nothing from stopping Russia to get what they want since there's been a complete breakdown of diplomacy, the west had one thing going and that was the threat of sanctions but since they've pulled the trigger they have nothing left anymore and the Ukrainian government has demands like taking back the LPR and DNR and crimea, so again why should russia stop now and again this war is immoral I'm not saying that Russia should do that I say that they will do that because they probably feel like they can hold those regions and it benefits them because there's nothing stopping them from taking what benefits them most because that's what governments do.

          I don't know if I would call this a Suez Canal crisis moment, there aren't that many nations that are food, resource and energy self-sufficient, in addition to that Putin has a pretty tight control over the government as well as nukes how many other countries and leaders can say the same, I don't know if south american or african countries would look at this moment and say to themselves "We can go against the western hegemon", but more important who knows how even this conflict is going to shake out and what is going to happen immediately afterwards.

              But did the US dollar get attacked by this? The biggest threat to the US dollar hegemony was the euro and that one got crushed, so what do you have left, yen or the pound? I doubt China wants the renminbi to become a reserve currency given their status as the manufacturer of the world economy, and that still ignores the geographical reality of our world, there's a reason why something like the Monroe Doctrine it's because the hegemon is right there. And while the loss of economic warfare would impact the US it still has real warfare it can back up it's position with and has no problems using it.

              And that's where I am at, I don't think we know and can say "Oh this is the end of US hegemony, end of the dollar and rise of the multipolar world" could this conflict be looked at in history as a turning point in the world order? Maybe but it's incredibly hard to know history when we are living it.
