I agree with you on point #2 in regards to the nuclear part, not so much about defeat, but if it goes nuclear then the point would be moot.

You might have a point on the west wanting a stalemate… why else did they push Ukraine into that disastrous counter offensive, when it has even been stated since that in the halls of Washington and the Pentagon, they knew it wouldn’t work!!! You think they set the Ukrainians up to impale themselves full on in the name of a stalemate? Yikes, but you might be right.

The rest of what you wrote is hogwash, but a fun read. Thanks for engaging the article.
