//I don't know what will happen. If you read my statements carefully,//

No, you said "when Ukraine gives up territory just to be a member of NATO." This is not framed as a probability, but as a certainty. If it were, you would have said "if," a conditional statement.

//The sources I read strongly suggest that Ukraine will cede territory to get out of the war.//

What sources are those? And didn't you just state no one knows? So what is the basis of you believing these "sources" over those who predict Russia's collapse?

//And you know what I really hope for?//

Then why do you keep blaming the U.S. for the war, insisting it's the fault of the U.S. and NATO that it's continuing, and constantly stating that Ukraine is losing? You are not peddling a moderate appraisal here at all. You're peddling an "opposite of the narrative," which is little more than thinly-veiled Putin apologism. The only question on my mind right now is whether or not you are doing so deliberately.
