Alas, this triumphalism is a mistake. Russia has made a tactical withdrawal, but still occupies 99.75% of the territory it seized in 2014 and 2022. NATO is a hollow shell, incapable of facing up to aggression and the next Trump administration may pull the USA out entirely, thereby rendering NATO dead as no European country has any capacity to make a serious contribution. Ukraine will almost certainly have to surrender on Russian terms now the neo-fascist Republican Party has decided to give the country to Putin on a platter. There are no "game changers" in Ukraine because Western support has always been far too little, far too late. It is grotesque how stupid, complacent, and cowardly we in the West are, and how readily we are repeating the terrible mistakes of the 1930s
