personally man they had a chance of this all ending almost 3 years ago now with the instanbul talks but after boris johnson meeting with zelensky in private he changed his tune to no peace till pre 2014 borders are back. something tells me he was going to be executed if he didn't prevent future peace talks so he sold his country out to save his own skin essentially.  that's the saddest part about all this we could have had a war with only 10 thousand casualties but because of arrogance and hate have now ballooned that to several hundred thousand. i think this outcome was expected by some western leaders but they just didn't care as long as they thought it would hurt russias ability for future military adventures.
