Question: Does the world, at some point, roll the dice and stop the crushing of Ukraine.

35. The world will continue what it's doing.

What we have told Putin is clear. Do as you wish within the borders of Ukraine and our involvement will be to arm Ukraine and pile up sanctions on Russia.

This seems to be the understanding and accepted course of action when it comes to world leaders.

If Putin does this I believe there will be no change in world policy.

1) Not go outside of the borders of Ukraine.
2) Putin can take and hold all areas around the Port of Mariupol.
3) Putin can put Russian figureheads in place in some areas after kidnapping or killing local government officials.

Point three is Putin’s big failure and miscalculation in all of this. He thought he could do it country-wide. He can’t.

I truly believe world powers will sit by no matter the level of brutality if Putin doesn’t go much beyond that in the next month. Seems pretty clear to me that is Putin’s current plan.

Sanctions must remain as long as Putin remains in power.
