I think the war in Ukraine will end when Putin has achieved 100% occupation and can arrange mass murder/genocide. By that time, he'll be focusing on taking the Baltic states, so aside from the fact Ukraine will be one vast gulag, things will be relatively peaceful and no doubt the vermin who comprise the US Republican Party will be very pleased with the outcome - as will the equally verminous Orban in Hungary. The fact Hungary is still permitted to remain in the EU tells us everything we need to know about the fact the West is finished -though the fact of Trump returning to the White House in 2025 will be, for some people, an equally obvious sign. No wonder dictators love democracy - it makes their conquests so much easier.
