Russia has already been defeated, at this point it's just a question of how total a defeat we can make it.

Given the world’s “second greatest army” is unable to defeat a smaller nation directly on their border after having an unlimited amount of time to train, prepare, and move forces into position, it’s pretty much a defeat on their side.

Yes, capitulation to a bully is a sound strategy.

Yes, pursuing infinite, endless bloody war is a sound strategy. Compared to say, finding a reasonable compromise that ensures everyone's security?

It's adorable that they think this is "the west's best efforts". This is more like the west throwing some speculative bids at a penny auction to see if they can score some easy wins and if not then at least they piss off the other guy who's bidding. If they think this is all the west's got to offer they're in for a real big fucking surprise.
