I fail to see how creating a power vaccuum is a good thing with all those nukes. This is irresponsible. We can’t even remove a 3rd world dictator without all hell breaking loose how could destabilizing the largest nuclear power in the world work out even better?
They seem to have destabilised themselves.
Most troublesome things in the world have no reference to the US, or just marginally so. Putin created Wagner under his “fixer” Prigozhin as his personal army, to do his dirty work. He then mismanaged the lot of them, his regular army leadership included. Putin was too clever by half.
Now he has tens of thousands of out-of-control barbarians at his door.
The idea that the US has anything to do with @#£% like this is parochial. Other people exist, and they will do what they will do, they aren’t under US control,
