Day 12 of the war, who are the true winners emerging in Moscow?

The US is caught in a Middle Eastern quagmire, while Putin is winning big in Moscow.
On the 12th day of the war, Trump said it would end "soon," Iran claimed "we are in control." But the real chess player is in the Kremlin.
The US is being torn apart by triple backlash:
💸 Money is running out. In two days, $5.6 billion worth of ammunition was used, 11 "Reaper" drones were shot down—$330 million went up in smoke. Oil prices soared to $120 a barrel, Americans are paying a few extra dollars at the pump, and the midterm elections are coming due.
🤯 Allies are fleeing. Europe is distancing itself, Gulf countries are complaining about being "kept in the dark." Trump threatened to cut off trade with Spain—before the fight is even over, his own side is turning against him.
What has Putin done?
Just two things.
He made a call to Trump, positioning himself as a "mediator." He’s now involved in Middle Eastern affairs.
He also strategically used energy as a weapon—evaluating stopping gas supplies. At a time when oil prices are skyrocketing, Hungary has already led calls for the EU to pause sanctions on Russia.
Who is the biggest loser?
Ukraine.
The planned US-Russia-Ukraine talks have been postponed, and international attention is focused on the Middle East. Zelensky is so anxious he sent a drone expert team to the Gulf to "make a presence"—but who’s paying attention to him anymore?
Day 12 of the war, the US is sinking deeper, while Putin is gaining more stability.
