9. If he wins

and gets away with this appalling, atrocious land grab, he will focus on Poland, and the Balkans. He will control the Azov Sea, so he will annex that. Next comes all of Georgia, and maybe Moldova.

Gee, stuff to look forward to (not)! I think Irish Dem in this thread most clearly summed up the dilemma that we are in. We can either submit, or not. If not, then we better get to it. We have to insure that Ukraine is not beaten.

As far as it not being a good result for Russia either way, remember that Putin doesn't seem to respond to anyone or anything that doesn't reward him. He doesn't care what happens to the Russian people, or anyone else. He is very much like, what, a psychopath? What person would do this? He may be holding peace talks, but you can bet all he is saying is, "Surrender."
