War in Ukraine (Previously - Will there be War?)

Russia has a vast military industrial complex backed up by the vast natural resources of Russia. I saw some estimates that even if the entire depo has been destroyed it is basically 2 days supplies for the Russian front line. With arms supplies and support from the US to Ukraine coming to an end it should be very obvious to anyone (including yourself) that this war is over and Ukraine needs to try to reach some kind of settlement ASAP. What ever you think of Russia they are "rational actors" and can be negotiated with - they do not want to see Ukraine collapse as a functioning country since this is not in their interest. In my opinion Ukraine needs to enter negotiations with Russia based on the foundation they will agree to remain neutral in the conflict between the US and Russia/China etc.

I am talking about the continuation of Ukraine as a functioning society and not collapsing. Yes Russia will take large parts of Eastern Ukraine (which with the exit of US support is now inevitable) but I believe Ukraine through negotiations and by agreeing to remain neutral can continue to exist as a country.

The problem is if they agree to that, they'll just get invaded again. If they don't get in NATO, they'll need massive defensive lines backed up by the combined total output of the US and Europe arms manufacturers. 

Also its looking (albeit slightly) less likely Trump will get in. Won't Harris carry on where Biden left off? So more war for years to come?

I guess it depends on why you think Russia invaded Ukraine in the first place. If you believe this is just about a land grab by Russia who wants to reform the soviet union or something then Ukraine does have to worry about further invasions if they come to a settlement. However I personally suspect the main reason Russia invaded Ukraine is its belief that Ukraine was being armed by NATO in order to pose a military threat to Russia - the Russians have been complaining about the eastward expansion of NATO since the fall of the Soviet Union. Because of this I believe the best position for Ukraine to take is neutrality and reduce its military threat level to Russia.

There are other factors in Ukraine beside the NATO/US involvement factor - such as the perception by Russia that Russians within Ukraine are being persecuted. I am pretty confident in saying that if you took US Neo-Con arming of Ukraine and the internal conflict involving Russians within Ukraine (which the Russians seem to believe the US have also been involved in) out of the equation this invasion would not have happened. Infact these two points were the main points of the Istanbul peace deal to end the conflict in 2022 - which the Zelensky government seemed to be very happy about until Boris the Clown showed up. Russians have talked about the Istanbul Agreement as still being the basis of a peace treaty, however it now involves the annexation of large parts of Eastern Ukraine into the Russian Federation. 

If I was Finnish I would have preferred it if my country had stayed out of NATO and remained neutral. Their neutral peace treaty with Russia benefitted them economically and why the hell would Russia want to invade Finland anyhow*. Infact Finland also faced a similar situation with the Russians after they lost the Winter War in 1940 and by remaining neutral and giving territory to the Russians they avoided the destruction of their country.

* - unless they posed a threat to Russia. If you look at a map of the world you will probably notice Russia already has enough territory to worry about.

Yes this has been said many times for many months by many people and is doubtless true.
