Oh won't it be so nice if Russia win the war, I'm sure the Ukrainians will all give them a hug. NOT. Russia can't win unless they are pointing guns at the Ukrainians every day forever.

Always easier to deal with the aggressor.

Well for sure, Putin has far less at stake than Zelensky. Ukraine is locked in an existential battle with Russia. You're not going to deal lightly in that situation. Be very wary of fat yanks bearing mineral deals. They could spell unconditional surrender. Putin pretty much has what he wanted. Crimea secured, Donbas secured, Ukraine crippled. Anything else you require, Donny's asking? Just name it and it's yours.

You might argue that NATO is in every country so why not Ukraine ? Because the US is running a proxy war against Putin using the Ukraine

  Less fact, more fake. The US didn't launch an invasion of Russia last I looked, nor did NATO, nor did either ever threaten to. You're just regurgitating Fox News, lim. Sure, some would not surprisingly like to join NATO. It was set up to counter the threat of Soviet expansion, so you can see why they might feel that way, right? Ironic, isn't it? And as Lardarse struggled to blurt out, the proof of the pudding etc etc.
