Still, Putin occupied resource rich Donetsk region and will keep it. Russia has militarized its economy and nationalized (stole) many private enterprises. There is no going back any time soon. The process must continue for him to stay in power. As Russian saying goes, "appetite comes with eating".

Having lived there for a couple years, I always thought it was "appetite comes with water (becomes vodka after a few bottles of that)" 😂
But yes, you are right. They may get to keep it if Trump "makes a deal". It's a bad precedent, but no worse than anything post-ww2. Not sure what resource rich low hanging fruit there is in europe tho? Romania isn't easy because mountains, sweden definitely wasn't easy before, and as a NATO member it's even worse. Don't forget that even if the US exits NATO today, the other members will still be forced to honor Article 5 and they too have F35s that can shoot down a MiG from 1000km away.
