There is no government in Russia now with which it would be possible to negotiate. The only thing which is left is the police apparatus. It is as if they could not find a single ordinary economist in the whole country. This indicates that Russia is sliding deeper into the abyss and that it is getting closer to a total breakup. Attempts to solve things by force will lead nowhere.
Russian generals are bloodthirsty, they dream of revenge.
None of their dreams will come true, however. Instead of feeding their people and providing a normal living for them, they ram down their throats poetry about the might of Russian arms. But the point is that the big army no longer exists and will never exist. Moscow claims that you do not suffer from lack of funds. War costs a lot.
