I wonder if there is a school of thought in the West/NATO that wants the destruction of the Russian army to last a few weeks longer, a war by proxy
Very unlikely
That would leave Russia completely defenceless and they would know it. I don't want to predict what they would do in those circumstances
The Russians are pulling troops out of everywhere to reinforce their troops in the Ukraine, and they are doing that because they are really struggling
But both sides clearly want the fighting to stop, and its just a question of framing any peace agreement in which both sides can claim a "win"
(Reality is that Russia has suffered a severe bloody nose, and its actions have completely undermined its thirty year attempt to have control over Western policy, plus have rejuvenated both the EU and NATO, plus shown the strength of the Western orbits economic power)
