Something Russia used to be quite good at but given the track record of its equipment in Ukraine is now suffering terribly from - nobody wants what little their factories can currently produce. Nobody who wishes to prevail in a conflict would want to have Russian equipment as a gift let alone have to pay for it. It's all about megalomania - without which Putrid would not have put his empire in the position of being humbled by poor little Ukraine. Arms sales follows the megalomania.

If Putrid were to withdraw his invading forces back into Russia and if he wishes to set up a de-militarized zone within Russia and pay reparations for the crimes/horror his forces have unleashed on Ukraine then there would be no requirement for the military industrical complex within all the nations involved (albeit the Russian would have to give up less as their whole industrial base is just a mess) Most NATO nations are having a general upgrade of their defences as a result of Putrid's action. Not at the behest of any of the military industrial complexes - all at the concern at the behaviour of an authoritarian megalomaniac. When the sun shines the whole ice cream/sun screen complex celebrates record calls for their goods and services. No different to the mil complexes. So why single them out?

Perhaps could a deal be reached after Russia takes Kharkiv and maybe Odessa, where Russia no longer wants any more of Ukraine, and the deal could be ok Ukraine is much less of a threat now, so let them have security assurances from the west. They’d be a lot further from Moscow by that point. Their economy would be hindered by having been land locked. They’d rely on good relations with Russia in order to use their ports. That gives Russia leverage over them to not allow another huge military build up. I think Russia could accept that. Whether Ukraine would is another question. But by that point we’re looking at another year or more of fighting. How many men would they have left? They may not have a choice by that point

It would be better if you prayed for peace for everyone. Because "fighting for freedom" actually means bombing peaceful citizens of Donetsk, Lugansk People's Republic among the others vast majority of whom decided to live independently & under Russia protection due to (there are strong reasons to think so) pro-western coup d'etat organized by ultra nationalists in 2014 and consequent harassment, threats, banning Russian-speaking culture. Even if we accept the Ukraine's point of view and close our eyes to crazy things which happened with peaceful citizens and recorded by independent journalists all over the world (e.g. Patrick Lancaster), bombing and killing people who hate you and pray for living w/o you is very and very strange attitude. Needless to say I think both Ukraine and Russia are very corrupted countries, I have no sympathy for either Putin or Zelensky. I sympathize with ordinary people from all sides of conflict who die every day and continues to die while the US and EU sends weapons and money ((

So there is no choice for Ukraine to make a deal with much less territory they have started with more likely they will lose it to Poland, Hangery and Romania too. Econicly US cant efford to make mistake and expose its uncompetancy to the world as it has been shown for the last 30 years.

Well you can square this circle once one side inevitable "runs out of steam". In this case unfortunately Ukraine will probably be that side. If not weapons, then they will run out of soldiers. Simply because there are 5X more Russians available to mobilize as soldiers, compared to Ukrainians. So I can actually imagine Zelensky one day getting on TV and telling his people something like "We fought hard, but circumstances demand us to make some consessions for the sake of peace" , even if it won't really be peace, but just a cease-fire. And he will leave the occupied territories to Russia. That's how I see it happening. I just can't see Ukraine being able to push Russia who has hundreds of airplanes, bombers, ships and nuclear weapons, out of the occupied territory. It's just not realistic.

The problem was just the situation at the time that decision was made didn’t really make sense to go that path. Russia had the launch codes and had set them up and ran all the maintenance programs for them etc. And keep in mind even in Russia at the time it was pretty chaotic at that point in time despite the ussr collapse being organised mostly by Russia, let alone in Ukraine. Media outlets were saying Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe 10 years ago let alone back then in a power vacuum from the collapse of the USSR at the time. Frankly it was unsafe for the whole world to leave this nuclear arsenal sitting around in that chaos. And Ukraine didn’t have the expertise or the programs to safely manage them at the time. It was a very strongly held opinion by everyone at the time that the safer option was for Russia to take them back. America was very much behind that decision as well. So it wasn’t realistic at the time for it to go that way. They could aim to acquire some now (after the war perhaps), but I don’t think America would let them, as there’s a strong nuclear non proliferation treaty most have signed that prevents it. Although a lot of countries really want them badly right now so maybe things will change. Who knows.

The only way I can see it ending is mass desertions in the Ukrainian Army due to feeling inadequately resourced and that it's almost cause.

They already offered some of Ukraine to Poland and the latter declined, which is probably for the best considering that Ukraine never came clean about the brutal mass murders on Polish AND Ukrainian people in 1943 to 1945 (known as Massacre of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia) carried out by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Who wants people who still bow to the fascist Germany under its jurisdiction?

Mearsheimer claims he is a "realist", but he can't see reality. In a speech he gave on October 23, 2023, he still thinks this conflict will end in a stalemate, and result in a frozen conflict.

No, JM, Russia does not want Ukraine to be a "neutral state." Putin wants to take it over as part of Russian Empire 2.0 or at least be a subservient client state like Belarus. If it were actually acceptable for Ukraine to truly be a neutral state with limited ties to either the west or Russian then none of this would happened in the first place.

Interestingly these are the two reasons there will be an end to the conflict once Ukrainians wake up, or once China or somebody else from Europe intervenes and helps negotiations. Offer some land for security and vice-versa. Pretty simple.
