OK so Ukraine effectively surrenders and gives the US billions of mineral wealth and Russia significant territory. Russia is rewarded for its aggression (again) with territory. The war stops, Ukraine agrees to limits its military investment, etc., Russia agrees to nothing, U.S. signals to the world that they will not back Ukraine and are actively looking at it as a land to exploit and Russia as an ally. What do you think will happen next? Ukraine once also had nuclear weapons, which they gave up due to security guarantees from the U.S. and Russia. Whoops…
Now do the other side.
Ukraine continues to fight and lose and Russia seizes 100% Ukraine. and Europe and the US continue to refuse to commit troops or air power.
Whoops.
NATO and the west completely overplayed their hand. Unless the west is willing to start a shooting war with Russia Russia is going to get what it wants.
The question is does Ukraine lose Crimea and the Donbas or does Ukraine cease to exist.
Again, Russia does not have the power to conquer Ukraine. If they could have, they would have.
From Russia’s perspective, the most important strategic issue of the war is they do not want a hostile government in Ukraine. That’s what Ukrainian NATO membership signifies. They failed to depose the Ukrainian government in 2022, and they are not close to doing it now.

Are you unaware that the war is still going on?
The front is moving every day in Russia's favor. Zelensky said Bakhmut would never fall and then it did, Avdiivka would never fall and then it did, Chasiv Yar would never fall and then it did...
Putin said in 2008 when the US first started declaring that Ukraine would be in NATO that "if Ukraine joins NATO it will do so without Crimea and the Donbas".
Russia controls almost all of the Donbas and Ukraine will never get Crimea back.
Trump, his people and his voters behave exactly like the communists did. Bullying people and destroying their own country. They sell lives that normal people will get more money, but what they do is spending more tax payers money for their own leisure. Now Musk will build a city close to Mexico with American tax payers money written all over it. Trump and his supporters want to destroy America.
Hitler thought he could roll Poland because he could.
You might not know... but he did conquer Poland pretty easily.
The UK and France were outraged naturally so they declared war and mobilized to show the evil Germans that the good guys ALWAYS win!
And then the Germans conquered France and humiliated the British Expeditionary Force in a matter of weeks.
You don't know a damn thing about WW2.
The US is done babysitting Europe. It's long past time those globalist morons fund and fight their own wars.
wow again, talk about a childs understanding of events
why did he think he could take poland?
what was the fact pattern that lent itself to that conclusion by Hitler
absolute clean air between those ears of yours
why didn’t he take poland first? or France for that matter? why wait for them to ready militarily if knew all along the British and French were weak why take Poland first?

Because you're stupid you don't even realize the point you're trying to make makes MY point not yours.
Hitler didn't invade Poland because he didn't think the Allies would try to stop him. He did it because he know they couldn't stop him even if they wanted to.
In geopolitics might makes right. It's not "fair" and it doesn't "feel good" but it is reality.
You do not understand anything. You have the same level of understanding of geopolitics as Elmo.

leaders say a lot of things
why are you giving agency only to one
the answer is obvious
Yes the answer is because you're a moron.
I'm giving "agency" to Russia's leader's words because they are the ones an intelligent person would listen to if they wanted to understand how Russia is going to behave.

holy S easiest answer to a Why question ever and you can’t do it
i ll restate again: why did Hitler think he could move against Poland and the Allies would do little to stop him?
this is like cornerstone understanding of WW2 youre flunking here

I am not living in reality?
No small town in the Donbas changes the strategic realities I mentioned. NATO is a formalization of the western alliance. That’s why Russia didn’t make a huge stink over Sweden and Finland joining. Because they were already unofficially aligned with the West. Ukraine is going to continue to exist, and it is going to be aligned with the west, and hostile to Russia.

Because they weren't as weak as Poland.
If you're not stupid you avoid starting a multifront war.
