    That leads straight to open conflict and a reorganization of the status quo though. Some people really like the status quo even if it means keeping the human meat grinder turned on.

      The status quo broke last year, we're not getting it back without something happening.

      Putin broke an insanely expensive peace, and the only way to get it back is to enforce "you broke it you bought it".

        Oh I agree. I'm saying some people really like the status quo, even if it's broken.
