The West isn't losing interest, and he can't sustain 60K losses per month for very long.

Ukraine will have to make concessions, but Trump will offer (and threaten) enough to get Putin to make an agreement that gives so little that soon afterwards it will be manifest that the SMO was a total failure.

Kind of funny - FR seems to have become a gathering place for the world's clairvoyants and fortune tellers, for several years in a row now. On the plus side, there are some real comics in the group: my personal favorites are the ones who announce that PootyPoot is dying/demented/desperate/deranged, but (in other posts) insist there is zero chance of nuclear conflict, because that would be crazy...
