A bit late.
No leverage to make Poutine leave. Fuck Germany became such pussies. |

Or what? They sound like those moms in the grocery store where their kids are throwing a tantrum and destroying everything in sight..."Johnny, I'm asking nicely for the 147th time for you to stop or I'll ask you again."

If Putin could get out, I think he would, but he's stuck now.
I don't think Ukraine will back off until they retake Crimea and the Donetsk region. Putin can't lose the Donetsk region with its wealth of industrial capacity he took (although granted most is destroyed) and he doesn't want to lose Crimea for its Black Sea Naval Port (even though the Russian Navy is a joke). Putin is in a real hard position now of his own making. If he has any brains at all he will try and make Scholz look like some great peace maker and use him to broker a peace deal with Ukraine this Winter. Whatever Russia holds going into November is the most they're ever going to hold in this conflict. After this winter it is all going to be cataclysmically down hill for the Russians. The Russians should sue for peace, ask for the DPR to be recognized as independent and to hold Crimea in exchange for all other territory being given back to Ukraine with a pledge of non-military aggression from Russia. I think that would still be a hard sell at this point, but if Putin could get Scholz to lean on Ukraine to accept it the Russians could get out of this conflict without being completely humiliated at least domestically. Putin could say "I destroyed the NAZI Azov Battalion so I de-NAZI'ed Ukraine" and he could say "I got recognized independence for our Russian brothers in DPR." Sure, even in Russia some would point out that he didn't topple the Ukraine government and that Ukraine now is more likely to join NATO than ever, but he could perhaps use Scholz and others like Macron to try and block Ukraine from joining NATO behind the scenes. As far as military actions go though, right now is literally as good as it gets for Russia. If this conflict goes into the Spring of 2023, things will get really bad for Russia and if it goes into 2024 things we get cataclysmic for the Russians. So, this will show if Putin is hard headed or able to adapt to the changing reality. If Putin just keeps pushing forward with his original goals unchanged he'll fail. |

Or what? They couldn't beat them back when they had one of the best armies on the planet. The Krauts won't do shit now.

If Germany had a strong leader, they could send their armies east, liberate Ukraine, and secure critical energy supplies For Europe by cutting off the Russians from the oil fields of the Caucasus.
