History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. The Soviet Government, through which Vladimir Putin rose to prominence, came to power after a revolution which was precipitated by the the inept execution of a disasterous war by an out of touch Oligarchy.
This may be the only way this conflict ends.
I hope the private discussions the Biden and Putin administrations have apparently been having are along the lines of, ‘you move your tactical nukes and NATO will take them out with long range precision guided missiles’. It would appear this is the case from what Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Advisor to the White House, disclosed over the weekend.
I think this may be the only good stance with Putin to protect from nuclear war and nuclear blackmail.

There is now a joke in Russia: "The war with the United States will last until the last Ukrainian."
The great problem of any civilization is how to rejuvenate itself without rebarbarization.
