Politically. It'll be another cold war with China being a major factor.
Economically. Hey, we want to start selling Big Macs again, let's talk.
Socially. Believe majority of Russians support the invasion (at least in the beginning). There'll be a lot of defensiveness, acrimony etc. between neighbors, and friends & family.

Considering they lost about 10k in troops.
Word is that they are running low on troops number and are trying to recruit (I'm betting there aren't many takers).
Also their major tank facility shut down because of a lack of components.
The question for the West is that if there is a cease fire how fast do they get supplies and armaments to Ukraine to prevent a reoccurrence.
If Putin does pull back, how does he show strength? Does he plan to invade another country? If other nations pledge to join NATO does he attack again?
