The fourth inconvenient truth is that Putin's (Russia's) goal is not to capture some territories from Ukraine, it's the complete geno- and ethno-cide of the Ukrainian nation. Any other "deal" would be just a "service center stop" for them on the road to this final solution for Ukrainians. Unless Ukrainians are allowed to unequivocally win.

The Ukraine war is Game Theory in action. Define "winning", looks like all they have to do is hold out long enough until Russia falls apart. Looks like the idiot rightwinger noise we picked up in the West was misdirection, the KGB is a hollow shell anymore. I'm starting to think the Russian Federation will have to break up and China will expand. So much for Alexander Dugin!

Hopefully all the Middle Eastern refugees can be flooded into Russia and put an end to it forever. It's only fair, the Volga and Siberia seems like a green swathe ripe for settlement.
