'Everything for Victory!' - But how far is Putin willing to go? | To the point

Welcome to this week’s edition of To The Point.
Our guests:
Christoph von Marschall, Diplomatic correspondent for the German daily Tages-spiegel

Aid for Ukraine isn't "politically too difficult", it's a severe lack of understanding the urgency of the situation. Stopping aid to Ukraine isn't stopping Russia, but instead is empowering them. There is nothing politically difficult about it...

@@johntowers1213 "there is not unanimous support in the west for yet another never ending conflict in foreign lands" Not stopping Putin's plans in Ukraine soon will ensure exactly that, and even will bring Putin closer to working on his next steps, dealing with the Baltic, Poland and more. I'm strongly inclined to believe Western leaders are not ignorant about this fact, but actually are working towards it deliberately.

[@madensmith7014]

​@@oxydatorThat's true for leaders and people concerned about the security of the state, but you forget that the West is mostly democratic. Citizens have other concerns outside of a foreign war and that affects how the direction of the state is run. As the conflict reaches more of a stalemate, the urgency becomes even less, and citizens and their officials would probably want to see other things get done rather than waste tax payer dollars (I know aid to Ukraine is not a waste of tax money but you hqve to go through boring details to understand it. With no clear and easy to understand results, that's not how many people will see the situation)

“I said let them think how to do it with dignity. There are options if there is a will. Up until now there has been the uproar and screaming about inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield. Now they are apparently coming to realize that it is difficult to achieve, if possible at all. In my opinion, it is impossible by definition, it is never going to happen. It seems to me that now those who are in power in the West have come to realize this as well. If so, if the realization has set in, they have to think what to do next. We are ready for this dialogue.” - Vladimir Putin

He said he will only speak to USA because the whole of europe is a mass of discussion from his point of view. After a peace treaty, Russia will gear up and try again, until Russias borders reach the atlantic.

[@commonsense6611]

As in all wars, there comes a point where there is not enough of everything to win, yet alone continue. At this point, all I see is waste, waste of resources and personnel forced on both sides, and especially civilians. As far as Putin's call for mobilization, it reminds me of a line I once saw in a movie that goes: "I'll fight you until every drop of his blood is gone." It is not Russia, it is not Ukraine, It is not the West, but Putin who has nothing else he can do or place he can go, because not winning = failure, and failure = a change in government and government leadership. Since Putin has all but abolished elections, there is only one way this will happen. JUST SAYING...

[@NoName-ym5zj]

Failure does not guarantee change in leadership, history has shown that autocracies can survive despite major military defeats as long as they have a way to enforce their power. It is highly unlikely elites will be ready to give up putin, because after all he is the one who has provided them with everything they have for decades, there is no reason for them to risk their lives and threaten putin's role as the dictator of russia.

We should just continue supporting Ukraine as much as we can. At some point, the same thing will happen to Russia as happened to the Soviet Union. Society will begin to fall apart due to the costs of a hot war, in the case of the Soviet Union: arming itself during the Cold War. It is all about economy. When prices explode, when hospitals crumble, if crops fail ... Russia will disintegrate into chaos.
