"Nearly two months into Vladimir Putin’s brutal assault on Ukraine, the Biden administration and its European allies have begun planning for a far different world, in which they no longer try to coexist and cooperate with Russia, but actively seek to isolate and weaken it as a matter of long-term strategy."
The die is cast, the future is set. Russia is no longer welcome in the powerful international economic unions. Russia's allies, Serbia, Belarus, Iran, perhaps Iraq, and other weaker countries, cannot compensate for Russia's losses due to their unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
Russia is officially a rogue state on par with North Korea by Putin's choice.
