Reuters convey a statement from a 'senior US official':
- The Pentagon's new strategy will describe Russia as an 'acute threat' but one that cannot pose long-term systemic challenge
- Russia will emerge from Ukraine conflict weaker militarily and politically

Russia is very, very, heavily armed with nuclear weapons and delivery systems so I am a wee bit concerned if the US military assesses the country as not a long-term systemic challenge. Perhaps it looks so when you are inside a bunker. Dunno.
