This how I feel a lot more countries will start feeling if Ukraine doesn't win or Russia successfully uses their nuclear blackmail to win or get concessions in the war.

They already felt that when they saw Iraq and Afghanistan being invaded, but not Pakistan or North Korea.

Wow a nuclear armed superpower invading a country, that's sure a sea-change for the world /s

Look at what is happening in the world. Country after country standing up and saying they will continue to have their own relations with Russia, they see right through the hypocrisy of the west.

A nuclear armed superpower threatening to nuke the country it invaded cause it's starting to lose a war, is certainly new when did that happen last?.
