2. There won't be one IMO. Besides the fact they think they may have the advantage currently because of US wimping out

Pooty claimed he was forced to do this because of the threat of having a NATO nation with NATO troops right on his door step. Well that's out the window because he now has one on his doorstep and even if there's a ceasefire its going to include that NATO country on his border AND NATO countries boots playing Peacekeepers right on his doorstep. So if they agree to whats currently being offered, everything Russia supposedly "feared" prior from NATO to the invasion would come to fruition. Almost all of Russia's Western Flank would have NATO troops or boots from NATO countries within a mile of its border. Pooty loses. That ain't gonna happen IMO.

And besides all of that, a lot Europe itself hasn't committed to any kind of ceasefire thats currently on the table. They are ready and willing to keep Ukraine fighting and pushing Russia back because just as much as Russia doesn't want NATO on its door step, NATO doesn't want Russia to have a defense line that potentially extends from Kaliningrad to the Black Sea.

Ukraine's geographic location has, unfortunately, made its land the blood soaked ground between Eastern and Western Europe for centuries. I seriously don't believe Russia will stop until they at least get to the river if not the whole of Ukraine and even Poland and the Baltics if the West shows enough weakness.. It's the only way they think they can keep the West far enough away from Moscow that they feel safe. Their leaders were and still are paranoid pshycofucks.

The simple, very simple fact is, as long as there is an autocratic dicktater like pooty running The Bear with all of those rusty nukes on its back, there will be no peace period.
