The problem I think is that there is no off ramp or end to this conflict. No matter how much western media cries that Russia is just "two more weeks" to total collapse or Putin has cancer or something else flat out retarded, the reality doesn't match the propaganda. If any of that was true, they why is NATO reinforcing the western flank with 10000s of ground troops and F-22 Raptors? Why did they announce that they're reinforcing the Suwałki Gap just this week? I mean according to the media Russia is out of troops, out of ammo, out of missiles, and have to resort to suicide charges with shovels. Seems kind of silly right?
The west also thinks they can get this to a peace deal but like you said they would literally have to put Ukraine in NATO to prevent future attacks. So why would Russia give up and let that happen?
