America could give Ukraine the wherewithal to push the Russians back (100 HIMARS and limitless rockets), the US apparently thinks pushing the Russians back is too risky. Because in the final analysis Russia has options that America doesn't want to Russia to start seriously considering. Isn't it rather contradictory to say Putin is not going to be overthrown, but a new leadership might reverse his policies. If not overthrown he will choose his successor. The Russian masses would have to be educated up to the necessity of accepting their country had been defeated by a medium sized country using conventional weapons. Even with new leadership, that process would take many years, because there is no Russian DeGaulle awaiting the call with his already existing prestige for abandoning a region; new leadership would consider remaining in power their first priority and a withdrawal from Ukraine would be politically risky. Even were Russia to withdraw, it is so distrusted now that its relationship with the West would not be significantly repaired anyway, and other energy supplies having been found the gas sales would not restart . The only incentive to the Kremlin would be to halt the deaths of Russian soldiers. Yet those deaths are being presented as being patriotic: for something . A withdrawal would make it look like what by then will be tens of thousand of deaths were for nothing
