Ukraine

imo Putin will get what he wants from the Ukraine. Sanctions will be made. Putin will throttle the gas and bring our economies even further down. Then China will take Taiwan . The West fighting a cold war against two nuclear powers will back down like the bullies we are. China and Russia will set up their own infrastructures to get around the sanctions. If we lock Russia out of Swift they will set up their own and all the countries we have pissed off will move to that. The West can't ramp up quickly enough after our insane move to net 0 and we will need to buy from these countries at a much inflated price screwing our economies and fueling theirs.

I don't see this going nuclear but if it does it'll be because we start it. Putin is being very careful in what he is doing there. Minimising casualties and using his second line troops. This enables the first line to be immediately available to counter us if we move. Although that is unlikely all we are doing is talking and sanctions and we are not even aligned with that.

Putin is losing the info war though. The West has it down to a fine art now after Trump, Brexit, the Flu, etc. So when we are told Putin is doing badly most believe it. Enough so those poor city Ukrainians think they have a chance and waste their lives.

Don't even know why we are involved. The Ukraine has been in a civil war for years. I suspect we only want to get involved because we can base forces there and weaken Russia because Putin isn't in alignment with wiping us all out. Ukraine not joining NATO was a promise made decades ago and now being ignored, From what I can see the Ukraine is practically a member of NATO now. Their Command and Control systems are already integrated. They are hosting 26 biolabs all working on Bioweapons right by the Russian border. I didn't even think there were 26 across the world but there are 26 just in the Ukraine. Putin will have all this data now and all the samples.
