I’m in broad agreement with what you’ve posted here. I accepted some time ago that military and territorial reality will need to be faced up to, and that will necessarily entail Russia keeping most of what it has stolen, if some sort of cessation of warfare on the frontline is to be arrived at. It won’t amount to a cessation of hostilities though. Russia will carry on being cunts, because that is what they do.
Like you say, Europe needs to look to the future following any such ‘settlement’ to take every available step to ensure this does not happen again. This will entail measures that are military, political and financial. My worry is that Russia is allowed back into the fold by osmosis in terms of things like sanctions being eased in Europe (we absolutely cannot rely upon America in that regard) and participation in international sporting events. I, for one, would not engage in any way in a World Cup that Russia was invited to participate in. I would simply ignore it.
I would also want the £300 billion that has been seized from the murdering thieves to be deployed in rebuilding Ukraine, along with further support from the west. This will then serve as a telling juxtaposition to the situation in the land that Russia has stolen the cost of which rebuilding will be huge, and as you say, Russia will not be as well placed to undertake such an exercise, which I expect will be a bigger one than faced in Ukraine, given the toll in stealing that land has taken on its infrastructure, given the MO deployed.
