The eventual outcome of the war, no matter what, will be that the conventional military legacy of the Soviet Union is destroyed forever, never to threaten Europe or America again. Another outcome of the war will be that the Russia loses most of its military arms market share to the West. Another will be that America has a substantial new market for LNG in Europe since they're never ever going back to Russia as long as they're in Ukraine.
