Theoretically, when Putin loses his revenue from selling oil, he’ll be forced to end the war in Ukraine. Then he’ll have to negotiate.
War is pretty much over, Russian troops have now entered Odessa according to what I saw tonight. Trump has helped to isolate the U.S. and the rest of the world is pivoting to the new Multi-Polar world where the Dollar is no longer the Reserve Currency.
Russia in 3 years has destroyed the Ukraine army, over 1.5 million dead, they are now finished and no troops will come from the U.S. or NATO to help as we have none to send.
It is more likely that Russia will collapse suddenly and completely. Huge numbers of unpaid soldiers with powerful weapons directed by ruthless men can make a lot of trouble.
