The entire world community would almost have to treat them like Germany or Japan after WW2 in order for me to trust any permanent truce, and I don’t see any Russians going for that. I don’t think trying to isolate them like Iran would even work.

Yeah. The thing is though, the dude is old. Ooooold.
This is his kick at this can, he doesnt have the time to re-tool his military.
As many have said in this thread, his is the head that needs to roll. He has little to nothing to lose.
Really, I dont know who is standing behind him to take the reins after this. Is that person a stable, reasonable moderate? Or does that person's crazy make Putin look like a teddy bear?
In the grand scheme of mass defenestration, the right body simply hasnt gone out the window yet.
Its the only way I see this stopping.
This isnt Russia's war. This is Putin's war.
