Russia Ukraine war, page-231466

I never said, nor implied, that was the case.

I merely stated, what I believe, which is that Vlad's Regime will not survive if Ukraine becomes a prosperous, stable, democracy, as that would expose the Russian civilian population to the lies and corruption of Vlad's extortionate regime.

Therefore, he must continue down this path to it's ultimate resolution: Either his dominance over Ukraine, or his fall from power.

I am well aware that there are no foregone conclusions in this war.
