I don't follow the ins-and-outs, but given it started four years ago it just feels like a pointless "war" with no real stakes. What is the actual end goal of each side at this point?

Russia sees this as a generational opportunity to close off the lowland entry into Russia. It's been a tricky spot for them and this is their last window. I think it's more existential than we in the west give due.

Ukraine? Keep power.

US: hamper Russian resources and take their energy product off the market.

Thanks. Can you elaborate at all on the "lowland entry into Russia" point? Not trying to be obtuse and I understand I can ask an LLM, but feel like I'll get a more "real" answer here.

Ukraine is all Plains and shit, you could just drive tanks through it. It’s like Iowa. There are other ways into Russia but they involve weird mountains and chechens and shit, or Cold Weather.

mainly CR, if Ukraine goes full-Western, it's a stark reminder to Russians of how shittty their diesel despot is and directly undermines his legitimacy
