That’s absolutely correct. Russia, more explicitly Putin, is responsible for this war and will be defeated.

While I long for direct action by the West against Putin’s minions, I understand the effect that a military defeat under the name Ukraine will have a much more resounding effect upon the Russian people and their military than a NATO intervention would.

Russia must be defeated, soundly. They are under the illusion that they are a superpower and cannot be defeated.

An emphatic defeat by a Ukraine, even if it is heavily backed by the West, will have a profound effect upon Russian society.
