Russian defeat in Ukraine is equal to Russian defeat in first Chechnya war. Complete humiliation and Russians are going to try to conquer Ukraine again. And I have used word "defeat" on purpose, because anything else than a complete control of Ukrainian state is a defeat for Russia.
And what happens if trump+putin work a deal out and Ukraine says no? Who has Ukraine's back?
There will be no war, if I will get Sudetenland

This is exactly how the Russians negotiate.

Donald Trump stands no chance; he has no idea what he is dealing with.
Krasnov has been dealing with the Russians for ~40 years. I think he has an idea.
In general he's not particularly good with having ideas, and this particular might get too hard as well.
