As the war goes on and on for a long time, I suspect Russian Generals will be upset because of the worthless loss
of soldiers. Will it go on and on? ...That is really up to Putin. Anything is possible, but I don't think Putin will
admit to making a .."horrific mistake".
.... Maybe I am wrong, but that would end the war in Ukraine very quickly. (that is if he admits he made a .."mistake&quot

..... Russian Generals could take over, but that is,, I suspect, very unlikely.....

.......But, ....as I have said before,......."Anything Can Happen, and Often Does...:

............Thanks for reading this. I appreciate your post.

where this all ends up is Putin's health. That could influence his decisions.

let's speculate on what Putin may do that would make the definition of a vicious killer pale by comparison. In other words, what are some of the possible things that he could do, not counting surrender, falling on his sword, or other voluntary defeats?

..........SOME STRANGE POSITIVE THINGS HE COULD DO.???

2. Working out a world peace treaty that would work.
3. Give outstanding help to nations that needed it
4. Give money to poor people around the world to the poor support groups.
