He can’t sell that to a country that now has well over a million dead and incapacitated. What’s worse, there’s mounting evidence that he is being lied to on an industrial scale by his generals and that he might actually believe if he pushes just a little more, he can actually take the territories Russia has annexed. So he’s going to keep going because he thinks his minimum acceptable objective is still attainable.
You’re probably right about that, Chris. In which case, the only way forward for Ukraine is to incapacitate Russia with more drone attacks and long range missiles, if he can acquire them. Otherwise, it’s just a war of attrition until one side runs out of men or money.

I do hope that the US does not give Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for potential WW3 reasons; but I do also hope that the aforementined ingenuity makes up for that.
There will be no WWIII. That’s just Putin bluster.
