Putin doesn't want to stop the war, he wants the West to want to stop the war.

He uses traditional anti-America socialists in Europe as useful idiots to push his agenda.

But can the Russian economy sustain the war effort? Ruble dropped below $0.01

Well put, thank you.

I think that he isn’t sure what he actually wants. I think he is only afraid of losing face. I think he didn’t expect the war to escalate this much.

Putin cant afford to end the war. The minute the economy had to go into civiian mode, it collapses

If he waits long enough, he will wear down the west, and Trump is already sympathetic.

In 2 months, Putin will get exactly what he wants from the USA. If Biden has any sense left, he would escalate US backing as far as he possibly can in the little time he has.

The loss of face prevents him doing the right thing. Does he want Russia completely destroyed so there is no one left to see his inadequacy?

racatiwood.bsky.social•90 days ago

probably. I'm not sure he actually cares.

Yes, if the war is stopped Russians could easily account for the result of the war and it would not look good on Putin at this stage.

He would need a great victory to justify the enormous costs inflicted on Russia. Preferably the new world order he wants there Russia is seen as a great power that can negotiate with the US on dividing the world between them

Deep.

He actually keeps saying this but the absolute concussed western european leaders refuse to believe that.

Putin is in a tough spot - if he stops the war, he is done. If the war stops, he is done. If he can get a break, maybe he can rebuild forces and make a comeback later.
