Oh God there are so many problems with your response where do I even start?

lots of the latest negotiations (with the US) seem to involve Russia gaining territory in any peace agreement.

That’s just Trump doing Trump things, it’s got no basis in reality. You cannot have a negotiation where one of the parties is not present. Anything agreed with Russia will not be enforced by the international community. This has already been condemned by pretty much everyone else in the western world so I don’t know why you brought it up.

they’re switching over to a fully wartime economy, so they’re in it for the long haul.

So? They are at war so obviously they are switching over to a wartime economy. That doesn’t indicate any intention to attack NATO.

Ukraine, even with all the western weapons, is treading water.

They are hardly getting given the latest stuff. Meanwhile Russia is Fielding Soviet era tanks. I think will be okay.

Just to demonstrate what I mean, the estimated military casualties for the Soviet Union in WW2 was around 8.6 million. And then they won.

Firstly that was 60 years ago and wasn’t under the auspices of Putin. Who is widely regarded as a nut case. Secondly they wouldn’t have won had it not been for the allied forces having already severely hammered the Nazis.

Throwing meat into the grinder is not a tactic, it’s just desperation.
