The biggest pointlessness, other than weapons grifting, war on Russia, is there is zero option/will for winning. If Russia ever sees any threat to its defense goals being achieved, at minimum, annihilating Europe (not conquering it) that chooses path of being useless to world, will happen. If Putin’s moderate approach fails, he will be replaced by someone who brings victorious quick end to war, by exterminating allies of the real root causes of this conflict.
