From a tactical standpoint Russia would have to expend millions of tanks to take Ukraine at the current rates.
Sure if this was just a math problem in a vacuum. But the truth is this war just needs to stay in place bc Russia is attritting Ukraine of men and the West of military resources and political will. The Ukrainian defenses are buckling badly and when the wall comes down not much will be behind it so thats where your hypothesis dissolves, that in the fact that Russia doesnt want the western 2/3 but maybe Odessa.

Even if it does dissolve much damage has been done. I have stated before that fhe MIC isn't dumb. Russia has expanded the majority of its pre war stockpile against much of our old stock. People think a 60 billion aid bill is just piles of cash going to zelensky. Most of it goes back to the MIC to update our stocks. Furthermore, it's a live demonstration of our equipment and countries like Poland are putting in very large orders.

This. Its similar to when the US was "stuck in the hedgerows" for two months, when they did break out Patton was burning 300K gallons of fuel a day storming across Europe.
Ukraine had built up months of defenses that Russia recently broke through. Now Russia is moving every day. Ukraine has few seasoned soldiers left nor weapons/artillery.
They have blown through 200 billion and lost 1000s of square miles, yet 37 billion (the rest is going to run the govt and pensions) is gonna change their lives??????
The point is to drag their slaughtered body across the finish line/election day then they will be discarded like Sudan, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Solmalia, Niger....well you get the point. .
