Same for the West.

If they do, they loose. That sets their position in the world.

Who’d fear them? They can’t even win over a country which is much smaller and weaker than they are.

Russia has almost 1 million casualties, West hasn’t even arrived.

Huh? Which "West" are you referring to? No NATO member state has invaded any Russian sovereign territory.

Who fears, say, Canada? Lots of countries go on perfectly well without being feared. Russia could, too.

The problem isn't Russia, inherently. The problem is Putin. He cannot survive (probably literally) without being feared.
