Nah, they just want their Russia-in-drag slav brothers demilitarized and with a new Realpolitik govt that is not owned by the western MIC and the Straussians like Nuland/Nudelman

oops, didn’t happen ... now Russia is shut out of European energy markets, and got a $150 annual revenue hole from lost sales

so time is working against Russia ... the longer this drags on, the poorer Russia gets
and it looks like this could drag on for a very long time ...
