The last place you will read even a hint of Putin's defeat until it unequivocally happens is the group-think Realist cohort of geopolitical anslysts, which is most of them.

They'll just keep doubling down until they're out.

Can they offer salient points to make a counter-arguement to what you have written here?

Not a chance.

Thank you, sir. Now if only Europe holds the line that Trump is preparing to drop.

Looks very likely - unless Trump does something stupid. Like give his friend Putin a line of credit...

One thing Putin can do - escalate by using 2 or 3 nuclear weapons to destroy Kyiv and the military leadership. I have said from the start that Putin will probably go nuclear if he thinks he might lose the war. He would think he has no other option.

Thoughts on why the Russian people haven’t given more push back? Their men and boys are being slaughtered for nothing. I realize state run media and Putin’s iron fist make rising up difficult, but at some point enough is enough.
