and he's just destroying the rest of Ukraine to prove a point (and intimidate NATO), he could end this misadventure and declare victory if they could come to terms on this. I don't see Ukraine agreeing to this, but you never know 'til you see it I guess. The optics are really not good for him one way or the other, and he'll go down in history as a total asshole, but that kind of resolution to me would be preferable to escalating this to the point of global nuclear annihilation. Just my opinion though.
