These people have no intention whatsoever of recognizing any outcome of the war other than a renewed capitulation of what they perceive to be a stubborn, revanchist Russia that for some unfathomable reason does not behave like it did in 1991.

The whole thing is about "putting Russia back in its place" (it is 1991 forever for these people, they can't and don't want to understand that their moment of triumph was only temporary). They are quite sincere when they call the Trump 28 point bullshit plan a "NATO capitulation".

For them, Russia and Russians are defeated, third-rate subhumans, and signing anything with us where we insert even a single clause is, in their eyes, sacrilege.

This epistemic divide where they view Russia as a problem that has already been "solved" back in the 90s can only be bridged through the careful and methodical application of pain.
