This war is setting the stage for a final showdown which will involve a nuclear exchange. I think that no matter which side we support in this conflict, every single one of us is going to emerge out of this as a loser.
After the collapse of the USSR there was an opportunity for the US to become the undisputed leader of the whole world. That is, if they used their power to genuinely promote peace, democracy, economic and technological development etc. around the world. That would have included solving conflicts like Palestine, Kashmir etc and ridding the world of hunger and disease. They had the power to do that, but they didn't.
Instead they went berserk and launched a war on 1.8 billion Muslims, killing up to 20 million people or more. That was a horrendous crime.
What does "Western" culture mean anymore? Christianity, which taught morality, has been thrown away. What we're left with is free sex, pornography, drugs, alcoholism, LGBTQ, unstable relationships, high divorce, low birth rates, obsessive materialism, neo-nazis, etc. In America there are fully armed black and white militias that look like militaries that are ready to go to war against each other when the time comes.
Additionally, there's huge gaps in income, with some millionaires and billionaires enjoying life while the masses are poor and are barely surviving from week to week.
You know that the West has lost all claim to being arbiters of morality when the US embassy hangs LGBTQ flags outside.
Sorry, but I don't think that the West, as it is, is sustainable. It's a failed society. The world can do much better than that. I think that, sooner or later, this conflict will result in a nuclear holocaust, and then the people who are left alive will build a better world.
