How is it a humiliating defeat?humiliating defeat if true
Time will tell, your assessment isn’t realistic.No.
No.
The interest of Ukraine is anything that stops the ongoing annihilation of Ukraine.
Ukraine has every reason to give Russia a lot. You seem unable to comprehend what the phrase "ongoing annihilation of Ukraine" means. There is no Ghost/Cucumber/Cougar of Kiev coming to save Ukraine.
Russia’s industrial base is destroyed they are going to sell half of the country to China at this point. Also interesting claiming Europe can’t compensate the energy prices while Russia can casually rebuilt their entire isolated economic system within a decade… interesting.Russia can pivot their economy in the next 5~10 years. Can Europe actually fix their already pre-invasion broken economy and come out of it stronger without cheap Russian energy? Because an Ukraine will need an Europe willing to help them rebuild by either building or financing the restoration.
If the alternative is Russia being fragmented into pieces by US and NATO influence they would rather pay vassalage to China. Russia historically chose being subjugated under the Tatars rather than suffer under Teutonic influence.Russia’s industrial base is destroyed they are going to sell half of the country to China at this point.

You are assuming in the first place to know what Russia's ultimate objectives were and what would be the least acceptable outcome to Russia...Russia is already stepping back on their demands. Russia is in desperate need of an exit strategy which also saves Putin’s face. But that’s not in the interest of Ukraine. With the enormous losses and the collapsing economy in Russia Ukraine has no reason to give Russia anything.
They are not Isolated, unless China, ASEAN, Africa and India fell to western pressure the last 20min?Time will tell, your assessment isn’t realistic.

You are going to pick one story either Europe is completely dependent on Russia making the deconstruction of Russia also the deconstruction of Europe or we are talking about some master plan which at least include many countries not committing suicideIf the alternative is Russia being fragmented into pieces by US and NATO influence they would rather pay vassalage to China. Russia historically chose being subjugated under the Tatars rather than suffer under Teutonic influence.

after all we are talking about a country that had half a decade to prepare for this war and failed completely. At least a bunch of higher ups got nice boats and houses outside of Russia

We are talking about Russia not some African or Latin American country, the Russia that can make Rockets, modern fighter jets and missiles. Im not saying it will be easy or they won't suffer but this will be a case of what doesn't kill will make you heck of a lot stronger because the west has pretty much played all their economic cards.
I think you are wrong about both Sweden and Finland.Sweden was NEVER neutral.
Other countries won't let Finland join NATO.
If Ukraine accepts neutrality, so as to avoid a conflict, a number of countries in NATO won't ever allow it to join. Germany and France are not interested in American geopolitical obsession of weakening ever major regional power in Eurasia that is not aligned with it...
