If the current state if the Ukraine war is success from Russian perspective how would a failure look like?

The paradox is that the Russian nuclear threat is ignored.

I assume that Russia invaded Ukraine with the intent to win the war within weeks or maybe a few months. It is a disaster for Russia. Even a full victory now would not be a outcome where one could expect that Russia would want to start direct war with NATO because they licked blood.

Does "energized" imply increased threat of attack? From the country which failed to successfully invade Ukraine ... I don't get the logic behind that thinking.

Pareto distribution can be expressed in mathematical terms. So what? That does not explain why a specific distribution should follow this rule.

> I think that the Pareto Principle is technically true in a lot of fields, but I also feel our society would be a lot better off if we didn’t know about it.

I doubt that. From what I understand Vilfredo Pareto introduced it to describe the existing allocation of wealth in Italy on the brink of fascism. He claimed that the crops in his garden followed this principle. I highly doubt that that can be replicated. Ever since people refer to the Pareto principle when they observe a 80/20 distribution. Like it is some kind of natural law. But it is not. At least I have yet to see a scientific explanation why a 80/20 distribution would have any kind of special meaning. Just because some distributions are 80/20 doesn't mean there is anything special about it, a lot of distributions are not 80/20.

So I think society would be better off if people would stop acting like it is a natural law and there is nothing to change about it.

Paereto distribution is dangerous since it is applied to justify hierarchies in society. And it is just not a good justification.
