Russia’s Historic Defeat

Russia entered the war with the larger army, population, Soviet stockpile, oil money, nuclear arsenal, and propaganda machine. Yet it still failed to force Ukraine back into the role of obedient junior partner. That failure matters even if the Kremlin refuses to name it. A state can control language at home, but it cannot fully erase the strategic meaning of what happened.
