It is sheer arrogance to assume that the U.S. can dictate to the rest of the world what theycan or can not do. And arrogance comes before a fall.

Russia though it could conquer Ukraine in 3 days--two weeks tops. It is now much weaker compared to the rest of the world than it was before the start of the war. They would have been better off had Putin had a little more humility and recognized the limits of Russia's power.
