For Germany, and the rest of Europe, we simply lost our enemy, this has made us soft, the liberals took power, and voted for bread and circus's- literally. Trump is trying to address some of this.
Does it all prove that 'empires' fall when they become too big/have no realistic enemy?

So what does winning look like for various parties today?
I have pushed most of the pizza boxes off my strategery Armchair.
And considering that my early war predictions came off 100%, well here goes.
Ukraine:
1. Still exist. (likely)
2. Recover all territory. (unlikely)
3. Recover POW and kidnapped citizens. (possible, not assured.)
Putin:
1. Still in power. (probable)
2. Grandiose delusions of New Russian empire on track. (delusions probable)
3. Ukraine, meh, whatever the last thing Putin said.
US
1. Fiscal quarter prediction improved. (unlikely)
2. WWIII not in active nuclear phase. (probable)
3. Contractors happily feeding at the DoD trough. (achievement unlocked)
4. Something something China something. (smoke and mirrors)
Europe
1. Don't get invaded/nuked by Russia. (probable)
2. Avoid a 50 year Cold War II, which they may have to fund themselves. (possible)
3. Honestly who knows. I think this is more of a country by country thing that lines up along a few blocks. (SNAFU)
And just for the record my early war predictions came off 100%, wrong.

Germany launches permanent troop deployment on NATO’s eastern flank
Berlin formally activates brigade in Lithuania, signaling a major shift in defense posture.
www.politico.eu
Operators of the 61st Guards Marine Brigade of Russia showed footage of interceptions of Ukrainian reconnaissance and attack UAVs. Unknown models of Russian FPV drones are used to intercept Ukrainian UAVs. The video shows the interception of Ukrainian Furia, Lelek, and Shark UAVs. A heavy drone of the Baba Yaga type and a Darts kamikaze UAV were also shot down. Technical information about some UAVs is available on the channel.
An episode of the evacuation of the Russian Desertcross-1000 buggy, using another similar buggy model. The Desertcross-1000 buggy is made in China. During the evacuation, a Ukrainian FPV drone appears. The soldiers start shooting at it, causing the Ukrainian drone to fall. Judging by the video, one of the fragments of the fallen drone hits one of the soldiers. But then the soldier suggests continuing the evacuation, apparently a symbolic injury. It is worth noting that the soldier shoots at the drone with a machine gun, while there is a shotgun near the buggy. It is unknown why he does not use it. The drone could have been shot down with a shotgun with one shot.

Ukraine does not publish all deep strikes into Russia but it does many more than known

The Military And Monetary Impact Of Ukraine's Deep Strikes In Russia
Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s energy sector have caused at least 60 billion rubles ($714 million) in damage, a joint investigation by RFE/RL, Frontelligence Insight, and a group of volunteers reveals. Dozens of Russian military facilities have been damaged or destroyed over the past six months.

I'm 100 % sure she meant that; If Ukraine wants to join the EU, the minerals deal must align with EU law. Makes sense to me
