      RT has reported that Russia would settle for a peace that involved recognition of the Donbass republics, Crimea and legal guarantees of Ukrainian neutrality. I don't think they're going to take more Ukrainian territory.

      Zelensky's party on the other hand has proposed an arrangement where Russia, the US and Turkey signs a treaty to safeguard Ukraine and has more or less given up on NATO membership.

          I think that scenario is highly unlikely. The Russian story has always been that they're just there to protect the Donbass, not to occupy the entirety of the Ukraine. I know big states are full of shit but even propaganda has to have some internal consistency in order to work. On the more practical side of things, Russia doesn't want to fight an extremely well-supplied insurgency and will be happy to limit the scope of their more permanent presence.

          Russia would be the third party in the room, so no missile bases for the yanks in the Ukraine.

        But he's the new Hitler! He has to be, Hitler is the baddest baddie I know and Putin must be just as bad.

          He seems "craazzyyyy" because this is the most publicized war by far, but the last 8+ years leading up to it have gotten almost no coverage so it appears as if Putin just woke up one day and went insane.

          Did you also see that lady on danish TV who was supposedly an expert on geopolitics, who said in complete seriousness, that the Z-symbol on the russian equipment meant that they were destined for Westward expansion? As in, within a few weeks he will take Poland and Germany?

        Only the propagandists. The realist, like the retired military said that Putin probably neutralize Ukraine west and take east. That’s all

      This is definitely the goal, it's not too unreasonable either (in terms of imperial goals). I also think that a demilitarization and gutting of the Ukrainian military will be on the table. Specifically some sort of tribunal for the crimes committed by Azov and the fascists in Donbass over the past decade.
