I think I'm close to Breeze's thinking on Ukraine. Russia is gonna wind up with the Donbas, keep Crimea and maybe a lot of the east bank of the Dneiper river (including Kharkov)

Russia wants the ethnic Russian (and Russian speaking) parts of Ukraine. Putin has no interest in the western parts of Ukraine that hate Russia. Much of where the fighting has been in the 3 years of this war have been sympathetic to Russia.

'If the EU truly believed Russia was planning to roll into Europe they would be mobilizing to defend themselves.

I think the West thought financial sanctions could defeat Russia in the first months. Didn't count on most of the world supporting Russia and that Russia had planned for operating outside the western SWIFT system.

Been paying attention to Ukraine since 2013, just before the coup that chased out the elected leader. Never should have led to war and I agree with Russia that the US provoked it.
