Any cease-fire will allow Putin to regroup and try again. So it must be accompanied by immediate Ukrainian membership in NATO and EU (and Sweden, Finland, Moldova, and Georgia) and strengthening defenses all along the NATO-Russia frontier to discourage any further Putinist adventurism. That would be sufficient strategic defeat to offset any tactical territorial gains. To completely end economic sanctions on Russia, it must also repatriate all detained Ukrainians and demilitarize Crimea, Donbass, and Transnistria. None of this is acceptable to Putin - any strategic defeat might cause his overthrow. So the war will continue until the Russian regime changes due to old age or coup.

Sending armed combat units, but without weapons of mass destruction, to fight alongside Ukrainian forces, within Ukraine, to expel foreign invaders. They would not enter or fire into or over Russia or Belarus, and so is no military threat to those dictators. This would not be a NATO action, and would not imply NATO collective self-defense unless NATO countries were attacked on their own territories, but NATO could support the effort by replacing weapons and ammunition and supplies used in the effort, and moving more forces from western NATO countries to front-line countries while their own forces were in Ukraine. This would be an escalation prompted by Putin's escalation from military conflict to mass murder of civilians. The next step in response to further Putin escalation would be for as many willing nations as possible bordering Russia and Belarus - potentially Finland to Georgia - to join by contributing non-nuclear armed forces to Ukraine. There is always a risk that this could lead to a nuclear exchange or WWIII, but that risk already exists - if Putin fails badly enough, he might threaten or invade bordering countries anyway. Do not count on rational behavior - think of Hitler's last days. #PS1ukraine ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-03-20 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title we need to send a signal to Putin that we're not going topic ukraine wordrate 0 words 254 epoch Lifetime ID 1624461517898361 impress 22 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "03/20/2022 07:03" reach 17 title "Biden's European trip will be heavy on displays of Western unity but could be light on actions to stop Putin's Ukraine war" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1624461517898361 ========== Can Putin be overthrown by the oligarchs? https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/03/10/russia-elites-putin-coup-war/ But they are used to competing rather than collaborating, and those closest to Putin are all KGB veterans who think exactly like him.

Battlefield bloodshed can be avoided, of course, if Ukraine surrenders outright and admits a Russian occupation force. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/14/politics/us-embassy-kyiv-closure/index.html #PS1ukraine ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-02-14 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Along with training exercises right on the border and topic ukraine wordrate 0 words 70 epoch Lifetime ID 1601426036868576 impress 8 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "02/14/2022 15:02" reach 7 title "US closing embassy in Kyiv and moving remaining diplomats to western Ukraine" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1601426036868576 ========== Putin has already won without firing a shot, thanks to collaborators and enablers all around the world. After success pitting Democrats against GOP in 2016, now he's got Germany uncertain about sanctions, the GOP split between traditional conservatives and Putinist isolationists, and the threat of a Moscow-Beijing axis against the west. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/politics/biden-putin-russia-ukraine/index.html #PS1ukraine ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-02-04 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Putin has already won without firing a shot, thanks to topic ukraine wordrate 0 words 52 epoch Lifetime ID 1594408274237019 impress 6 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "02/04/2022 07:02" reach 5 title "Analysis: American leaders are caught in Putin's guessing game" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1594408274237019 ========== Strong leader Putin's vision of the future meshes nicely with Trump's. Putin could just wait to help Trump get elected again, but perhaps he senses that Biden can't effectively oppose him now, when threatened by China, Korea, a Senate sworn to oppose Biden's every move, and a Trumpist GOP poised to impeach Biden as soon as it gains control of the House. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-russia-vladimir-putin-soviet-union-europe-32b8a914ad4debba6c3231738a5f5a36 #PS1ukraine ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-01-24 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Strong leader Putin's vision of the future meshes nicely topic ukraine wordrate 0 words 63 epoch Lifetime ID 1587040024973844 impress 7 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "01/24/2022 09:01" reach 5 title "Analysis: Crisis in Ukraine a showdown of two world views" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1587040024973844 ========== Now or never! Think Falkland Islands. https://www.political-scrapbook.net/theory.html#political%20ideology%20for%20the%20masses It's now or never for Putin to stop western ideas and ideals from getting too close to Russia and threatening his rule and his dream of rebuilding the Russian Empire/Soviet Union. It's now or never for Biden to show he will stand up against aggressors without suffering another humiliating defeat. China, Korea, and the GOP are watching and waiting to pounce. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/21/politics/joe-biden-vladimir-putin-us-russia-ukraine/index.html This is how wars start. Wars are often not about national military security but about administration political security when administrations paint themselves into a corner.

Ukraine is not a strategic asset to America, but a political asset to Biden. #PS1ukraine ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-01-21 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Now or never!
