Here’s an interesting question for you:
The way Russia is shelling everything left and right, if they win they will be inheriting a pile of rubble. As long as they don’t build missile bases on that land, it’s a pyrrhic victory they will deserve.
But what if they decide to pull out, as they ultimately did in Afghanistan? Who will pay to rebuild a devastated Ukraine? Can the world’s countries seize Russia’s already frozen assets? That’s probably not enough to do the job by itself. And we can’t look to World War II for a framework, because unlike the Axis powers, Russia will not be a defeated nation.
