Three predictions if the Russian / Ukrainian conflict ends in a manner favorable to the Ukraine and the west;

1) Biden will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. (Cue gif of Donald Trump's head exploding)

2) NATO will realize it can effectively end conventional war for good and publish a formal plan to use overwhelming joint economic sanctions against any country (including those that attack non-NATO members) that initiates unjustified wars of aggression against any other country.

3) As in WW2 when it became obvious that Battleships had been made obsolete by Air power / Carriers, modern military organizations will realize that Armored Divisions have been made obsolete by drones and masses of civilians armed with anti-tank weapons. When NATO can effectively arm an entire civilian population with missiles requiring invaders to devastate every square foot of the civilian population centers to win a war, the cost of winning (economically and politically) will outweigh the benefits.
