I suspect no one thought Biden had it in him. But one doubts many Russian citizens will hear it.
War east v west within a year ? Can't be ruled out but in my opinion it's rather unlikely. Russia is not likely to have much cannon fodder left by then. Possible Russian allies are not as technically advanced as NATO weaponary. China builds knock-offs, N. Korea relies on parading their ICBMs. Unsure who else might be daft enough to consider getting involved but whoever their contribution would be minimal and costly for them. And this to support a nation who clearly is just trying to recreate their empire by conquering their neighbours ? I think most national leaders would think twice as they've little or nothing to gain, even if they had zero regard for their own people.
