Exactly the opposite of what Biden’s sanctions and proxy war against Russia were intended to accomplish.

According to an article by David Pyne (“Executive Vice President of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security“) …

“Biden’s policy of attempting to weaken Russia with massive economic sanctions and fighting an indefinite proxy war to the last Ukrainian has backfired badly with his policy instead serving to “Make Russia Great Again” with its economy growing at its highest rate in decades. In fact, just last month, the World Bank upgraded Russia’s rating from the sixth largest to the fourth largest economy in the world, vaulting ahead of Germany and Japan, while upgrading its per capita rating to “high-income” which is the same one it accords to the US. No longer can neoconservative politicians dismiss Russia as “a gas station with nuclear weapons” as the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) did years ago.

“Far from weakening Russia militarily, Biden’s war of choice in Ukraine has caused Russia to increase the size of their armed forces by 50% from their prewar size to Soviet-era levels, expand the size of their army by nearly three times and more than double the percentage of their GDP that they spend on their military to Cold War levels. Putin has fully mobilized Russia’s economy for war and Russian factories are on track to churning out 1,500 T-90M main battle tanks this year, thousands more armored fighting vehicles and tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of missiles and combat drones as well as millions more heavy artillery shells for which Russia can now produce more a year than the US and its NATO allies combined.  Moreover, Russia has broken out of the New START nuclear arms control treaty limits of 1,550 Treaty-accountable warheads with a recently leaked Ukrainian report estimating Russia has increased the size of its nuclear arsenal to 6,000 strategic and 10,000 non-strategic warheads, a level far in excess of America’s operational nuclear stockpile.”

“Contrary to the … media disinformation narrative, it [the Ukraine War] has proven to be an unmitigated geostrategic disaster for the West. Thus far, the PRC [People’s Republic of China] has emerged as the biggest winner of the war, with Ukraine the biggest loser. While claiming to “support Ukraine”, the Biden administration has pursued a policy designed to veto all Ukrainian attempts to negotiate a fair peace with Russia and prolong the war indefinitely, exponentially increasing the death and destruction in that war-torn country in the process while threatening to transform Ukraine into a failed state. Since the war began, Ukraine has lost nearly thirty percent of its GDP and nearly one-third of its population to date including approximately 300,000 soldiers killed in action, hundreds of thousands more wounded and over 10,000 dead civilians. Supporters of the war in Ukraine refuse to recognize the fact that it is far worse off now than it would have been had it implemented its tentative peace agreement it reached with Russia at the end of March 2022 in Istanbul only five weeks after it invaded Ukraine … “

There is some evidence suggesting that the reason for Putins’s initial minimalist invasion — minimalist in that the number of invading Russian troops were insufficient to takeover the whole of Ukraine — was designed precisely to motivate Kiev to conclude a peace deal insuring Ukraine’s neutrality (precluding its participation in NATO).
