Agreed. In terms of a solution, the chances are Putin will never agree to return any Ukrainian territory he's taken, period, end of discussion. Meanwhile, Ukraine won't agree to discuss a cease fire unless all their territory is returned. Something will have to give. Or not. We could see some sort of long-term situation in which the war never officially ends, but most of the fighting stops, just because it's not sustainable for all sides indefinitely. A non-resolution like that would likely result in Russia lobbing in missiles every now and then just to remind Ukraine who the big dog is. And of course, American and/or NATO aid for Ukraine will have to become a given, at least from Ukraine's point of view.
The things we don't want to see are escalatory, such as China providing lethal aid to Russia, or Ukraine expanding the war into Russian territory, which quite honestly, would be perfectly justified, imo, but ill-advised.
The one thing we can say for sure is what libtards will never admit, which is the strength projected by the Trump administration is what prevents wars like this from happening. It doesn't cause them, like all the media sycophants told their sheeple would be the case. Pathetic US leadership from a feckless waste of carbon like Dementia Joe was a major contributing factor to Russia starting this war, imo.
