This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

That last guy must have driven you batty, then.
In fact, he did, though "thankfully" his riffing was usually confined to domestic adversaries. Though there were also times where he was sort of refreshing in his tendency to not make predictions and to simply say "we'll see", and there were also times (easily identifiable because he was clearly reading) when he was obviously told to stay on script, and did.

So Ukraine’s position in the negotiations is essentially what they were offering before this conflict and the position Russia refused to accept.

Yep.

The Western world needs to wean itself off Russian money, just like it needs to wean itself off of Saudi oil.

If we'd spent 10% of the money on renewable energy systems that we've spent on military equipment and wars over the past 40 years, you'd probably be paying half what you currently are for energy, and be able to use 2x as much.

Looks like lots of Russians will be dying of radiation poisoning soon.

The sheer incompetence of the entire Russian military at this point is beyond belief. It had to have been decades in the making, top to bottom. Outdated equipment, poor maintenance, horrible communication systems, clueless on logistics, worthless abilities to navigate, and pathetic tactics. About all they can do is launch artillery shells and bombs at civilian targets not shooting back.

But we should be afraid of the big bad bear.

That would be amazing. Yes, it allows Russia to regroup and redeploy assets to the eastern front in Ukraine, but it could also eliminate fronts to the west of it, allowing more Ukrainian assets to focus on eastern Ukraine. Part of the concern was that Russia would overwhelm Ukraine with pure numbers and this could go a long way toward alleviating that concern.
