[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would an acceptable, face-saving exit even look like for Putin?[/quote]
Unfortunately there isn’t one. Means that a whole country has no future now. I know it can’t be compared to what Ukraine is going through but I also feel sad for the kids of Russia who have been deprived of their future. [/quote]

I don't believe this. I think this [i]eventually[/i] ends with Putin forced out of power and a large part of Ukraine recognized as a sovereign nation with immediate acceptance into NATO and the EU - with a very, very heavy emphasis on eventually. I think we are in for a long haul, but with the West openly supporting an insurgency and maintaining sanctions it will happen eventually.

I do not believe the Russian military will facilitate the launch of nuclear weapons.[/quote]

I think you are right.  The sanctions should give the Russian population a reason to boot Putin.  We’re going to make it so miserable there that they will have nothing to eat but beets and cucumbers.  The next sanction will be to cancel visas and send Russians home.  Putin will be (cough) done.  The oligarchs are about to lose their yachts and condos this week.

The idea that Putin is ginning up a pretextural atomic bombing is scary.  We see through it. Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons and this is why we are trying to stay out of the fight. [/quote]
