I’m so focused on this war. I truly believe a win for russia (putin) will be the beginning of the end for Europe. I haven’t heard a single argument that convinces me that putin will negotiate, settle, or be deterred from his imperialistic fantasies if he’s allowed to subsume Ukraine.

Oh, except for those same armchair experts in the west who seem to think the US (and Canada) are separate and immune.
I've oscillated a lot in terms of how optimistic I am — from "just barely" to "cautiously" — but I still think things are trending in the right direction overall.
Russia probably can't sustain its current industrial output, Ukrainian strikes on its refineries are going to have an enormous toll and will probably continue, and the UAF are innovating some interesting solutions that will frustrate Russian war efforts.
So I think Ukraine will continue to hold the line against Russia. But without a victory, I think you're right, Russia is absolutely going to look beyond Kyiv to achieve its aims. That's going to be bad.
