Unfortunately, there are too many winners - for the right. A convicted sexual assaulter who lies when he talks (Haitians eating cats and dogs), loves the rich and will denigrate the rest of us is president again. How? Did people not listen to his insane rallies? Constant demeaning all Democrats? Or they never turned off Fox news and believed every lying word.
But I think you, naturally, have a very American take, USA centered view.
What we are witnessing is truly the decline and fall of the American Empire.
It will not crumble nor vanish rapidly.
Neither did the British Empire vanish.
It just slowly but surely lost it's dominant position.
USA's dominant position has been founded on the dogma that USA is the economic and military superpower. Still true today.
But also some more "stories", "narratives" that never were true. But other nations either believed or chose to pretend to believe.
Like
"Leader of the Free world"
"Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" ( a statement Americans that truly neither are free or brave like to believe is true)
USA's allies realize that USA is not a reliable ally.
A big chunk of the respect and trust vanished the first time the Americans elected Trump.
Now a second big chunk is gone.
China is watching closely.
It is not very probable that Putin will play a bigger role internationally.
He has lost face repeatedly in the eyes of cultures where loosing face is very bad.
It has been revealed that his military capabilities are not cutting edge.
The lack of discipline and the incredible level of corruption ruins everything Russian.
Nothing functions smoothly and reliably in the Russian Federation.
I don't think you are fully updated regarding the situation in Russia.
The price for potatoes have increased over 600%. Normally the price for potatoes are at the lowest at this time of the year. After harvest.
Butter is now so pricey that the butter sticks are locked in in the supermarkets in Moscow. More about the background: the farmers couldn't afford to feed all their cows. So they slaughtered more cows than normal. Thus the output of milk decreased. To little milk = to little butter to fulfill the demand.
Eggs are so expensive, that information about slightly cheaper eggs result in long lines.
The milk price had escalated. As all prices for producing milk had gone up. And there is problems to meet the demand.
For the first time since the collapse of the Soviet the authorities dictated that the salesprice to consumers had to be lowered. Or else!
There is no end to the crazy news from Inside Russia. (I recommend you check out the YouTube channel with that name.)
Putin has badly lost face regarding the war in Ukraine.
Domestically Russia is a mess.
China knows it.
India knows it.
(And please excuse my blunt way of expressive my thoughts. To call you "Sir" - which I think you consider polite - sounds insulting in my ears! I respect you! )

Sadly I have to agree on most statements.

Very interesting, thank you. I will check out Inside Russia. Let's hope Trump's election doesn't help Putin regain what he's lost.
This is just so depressing
Yup!!
