   After Syria and Iran, it's now Venezuela that has to conclude that its   
   alliance with Russia is worthless.   
      
   Promising a lot, but not delivering. That's the bottom line.   
      
   Cuba will probably wonder what to do next.   
      
   The world can see that Russia's power is completely gone. The war in Ukraine   
   is going nowhere, and elsewhere in the world, it's clear that Russia's weapons   
   are completely no match for American weapons. Russian promises are empty   
   promises. Russia can't provide any truly meaningful aid.   
      
   There are now only two world powers: China and the US.   
      
   And China still has to prove itself, because it has only demonstrated its   
   global power economically, but whether its military might is that great   
   remains to be seen.   
      
   As for Russia, the only question is when Putin will give up. The arms industry   
   only works for the current war in Ukraine, and no one in their right mind buys   
   Russian weapons anymore.   
      
   If Ukraine manages to hit its oil and gas exports, and possibly also its   
   uranium and potash exports, Russia will also face a huge economic abyss.   
      
   It's only a matter of time... IF Europe continues to support Ukraine. They can   
   win this, because Russia will have to give up!
