Back in WW2 times, Russia had already destroyed the German military some time before D-day. And that may have been the reason why the US financed the Bolshevik Revolution in the first place... because they saw that the Germans were crazy for war, and they needed a defense up there that the Czar was unwilling to provide.
The point is, when Russia broke away from the US, they were so strong that they almost annexed all of Europe, before they proved to themselves that force is not the way to do it.
The Russia of today is a 'world-trade' oriented Russia, not a 'conqueror-by-force' Russia. That's part of the reason why the US fears them, and is acting so boldly as to trying to stick NATO all around them to destroy them.
The one final thing that the US has is world trade. And it is working well for her, even though she is using a debt-backed, inherently-useless, fiat currency rather than value-backed currency like Russia.
Putin might be greedy. Russian bankers might be greedy. Russia herself might be greedy. But none of them are as greedy as the US bankers, who are turning to the force that Russia formerly used in Stalin-times. And they are doing it to remain in control of world money. Russian trade is a threat to US world money control.
The way to essentially stop the war right now is to shut down the Federal Reserve Bank in the States. Such a thing might present problems to Americans. But if the US Treasury took over and did its job (as the Constitution says), it might not be as bad as one might think.
Of course, most funds, troops, and armament to Ukraine would immediately stop. So, Russia would take her over. It would be interesting to see if Russia would allow her to maintain her autonomy once things settled down... without the 20% that Russia already took over, of course.
If we look at the current conditions, America has lost compared to Russia.
All global economic crisis has to do with one major thing... communications and the media. If there wasn't any media communications, we would all only know what we found out from each other by word of mouth. There are probably many small places in the world that don't know about the US vs. Russia war in Ukraine... or even what the US, Russia and Ukraine are, and that they exist.
Powerful nations are built by the media = communication and indoctrination within. If we didn't have communication, we wouldn't know of powerful nations like America, China and Russia. And, they probably wouldn't be as powerful as they are.
In America, before the time of the telegraph, the Pony Express was the communication that built the western parts of the US. In Siberia and China around 800 years ago, the reason why Genghis Khan was able to gain so much power that he ruled that big part of the world, was communication. He developed a "Pony Express" form of communication that told him news a long time before anybody else knew about it.
Now that we have communication in place as it is, regarding whole world operations, it will depend on other things, like the wisdom and strategies people use, and what God determines. Certainly both Russia and America have the raw materials and the natural resources.
The failure in communications might come in the following, small area. Communications are still incomplete regarding any nation worldwide. How are they incomplete? Communications don't cover activities of people or groups that use non-standard forms of communication. For example, even AI has a hard time of cracking blockchains. What about a small group that discovers and develops real and practical telepathy?
