Nobody has any interest in that war. Nobody has any interest in nuclear war. It's definitely something we should be prepared for, But there's really no reason to push hard enough that it comes to that. Soft support of Ukraine will bleed Russia dry. It sucks that Russia is forcing Ukraine to suffer this much. But the only other option for Russia would be to somehow become trustworthy and get the US and the rest of Europe to help them... And I don't think that's even a possibility as long as Putin's in power.
There can be no negotiation while Russia occupies. Congressional Republicans actually wanting to investigate cost of providing security for President Zelensky. Rock bottom.
Im not that optimistic that Putin would pull his troops out including Crimea as a basis for negotiation. So if he doesn't pull them out, it's going to take one hell of an offensive to push him out. I think he plays the attrition card right along with Ukraine & NATO. He's needs to be taken out one way or another or this war will last way to long.
