The sanctions have driven Russia and China together to being strong allies, which is a strategic defeat for the U.S.

But you are right, they do send a "message", which is that the West is an irrational actor that undermines its own interests, and is thus an untrustworthy ally. This is why Saudi Arabia and Turkey are moving away from the U.S. towards the emerging Axis of Sanity

Russia will be a satellite state of China, but one could argue that was going to happen anyway.
