No ----.

Putin has no reason to stop now. He's winning.

Wars are Hard to stop. This one didn't need to happen.

Sanctions didn't cut it, Weapons transfers didn't cut it,Trump's Ego makes him believe he has more juice than he does.

Putin could have been prevented from attacking if Biden didn't push war.

Insults and Threats are Not Diplomacy.

Actual Diplomacy is having high level talks and attempting to reach a settlement.

Did NATO or Biden attempt that?

Now it's too late.

NATO overestimated themselves and underestimated Russia.

This will probably be decided by War.

Unfortunately.

All avoidable if only the West wasn't so damned Arrogant and overconfident.

Russia has escalation dominance.

The stupidity was not even attempting to have diologue.

The Russians pushed hard for high level talks in January and February 2022.

NATO and especially Biden refused any Dialogue.

They didn't claim ANY responsibility for Ukraine until the war started.

Later they armed and funded them but all that is doing is getting more people killed.

They thought "weakening" Russia was a great idea, given that no western countries faced open war themselves.

Bad Decision. Now Ukraine faces demographic collapse.

Oops.

I doubt they ever really cared much about Ukraine.

Especially the people.

The minerals and agriculture were coveted by Western countries.

The people were just expendable pawns.

Standard Operation for Uncle Sam.
