NATO's Ukrainian proxy war against Russia, contrary to what its advocates claimed, did not go as planned. Washington's long-prepared intent was to wear down and isolate Moscow, unleashing a conflict - about whose final military outcome the Pentagon could hardly have any illusions - which would allow the Russian armed forces to be engaged in a war of attrition, which in turn should have provided the pretext for economic strangulation and international isolation. None of this occurred. This resulted in an embarrassing strategic situation to say the least, since Washington found itself faced with the concrete prospect of a defeat on Ukrainian soil - military and political defeat - which would have seriously compromised the deterrence capacity of Western armies, encouraging those countries that seek to escape from the suffocating sphere of Stars and Stripes domination.
