would prefer this war to end sooner rather than later

that won't happen ... Russia needs to get used to a 7 Year War

and 7 years of sanctions and no European energy markets ...

7 years of empty shelves ...

7 years of Russia falling behind technologically ...

I thought you guys PROMISED that Russia would go nuclear, just last week? Have you guys changed your mind or something?

As it is, with 85% of the world NOT supporting sanctions, you guys really look silly here - claiming that Russia has no market for its energy, nor access to technology.
