@judgedread @brokenshakles At a certain point they will run out of any escalatory options aside from nukes. Russia has destroyed Ukie AD to the point where they essentially have air supremancy and are bombing at will. There are no more systems to be sent that can replenish this deficit (the Patriot batteries are useless against hypersonics are are essentially expensive multimillion dollar targets for the RF to live-fire practice on). F-16s will simply get shot down (Russia already wiped out the Lvov airbase they were supposed to be parked at a few days ago). All artillery that could be provided has been; also gone. NATO and the West simply can't keep up with Russian industrial production of shells.

When that point is reached you will either see a coup and disposal of the kike cokehead comedian or a total capitulation where the Ukies withdraw behind the Dneipr river and cede whatever territory Russia wants. They may fight strongly to attempt to retain Odessa; this is why Macron is babbling about "NATO peacekeepers" specifically in that city.
