Putin has won the Ukrainian War

In case you hadn't noticed, the War in Ukraine is now over. Russia has effective control of the Black Sea coast, and the last city holding out in the Lysychansk region, Sieverodonetsk, has fallen under effective Russian control. The remaining portions of the Donbas region are being slowly but surely absorbed and encircled by Russian forces as well. Naturally, of course, most of the Western media is desribing this as a "stalemate". It isn't. Russia won, as they were inevitably going to do, of course. It's their territory, was for centuries, they're just taking it back, after the enforced breakup of Russia back in the 1990's. It's perfectly understandable that NATO wants a weak Russia, of course. However, what NATO wants isn't necessarily what NATO is going to get. So, what happens now? Probably, Ukraine will continue to fight on for a bit, bankrolled by NATO, particularly the U.S. Apparently, there won't be any formal cession of territory by Ukraine. They're going to keep insisting that Russia has illegally occupied their territory, and, up to a point, NATO will probably continue to arm them. For a while. Up to a point. But, clearly, over the next few months, support for Ukraine continuing to fight a lost battle is going to dry up. Hypocrisy has its limits, you know, even in NATO.
