The development today Putin should have seen coming: Xi is making it clear that Putin works for him and that Putin's own goals and motivations do not matter.

At this point, he has to realize he has destroyed his own legacy. While he can take Kyiv, and probably will in the next day or so, he can't move much further. Unfortunately for the people of Ukraine, there's no guarantee they won't become Belarus, part two. That would be just fine for China.

It really is up to the EU/UK and the US to decide just how far to take this. We didn't do anything when Crimea was taken (which, as we know, happened about a week after the 2014 Olympics in Sochi ended).
