Any enemy of NATO is either dumb or insane. How could you be against democracy in the 21th century? When Russia loses Putin must be judged by the free world and be given the lethal injection in the UN headquarters dungeon.

depends where Ukraine's borders are after this conflict. Ukraine could well be split in half.

best thing would be for a split, then russia stops transferring any energy through western ukraine forcing germany to either complete nord2 or go without energy.
