Another (now obsolete) thread on end of war predictions. Obsolete I say because in 2022 we had Biden, and now we have Trump 2.0, so any assumption of good faith on the USA’s part is … highly suspect in terms of ending the conflict. But it may be a useful comparison at least! > [@What are the likely outcomes/scenarios in the Ukraine war that the US is working towards?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-the-likely-outcomes-scenarios-in-the-ukraine-war-that-the-us-is-working-towards/972818): > > There’s a lot of discussion on what Putin may or may not do next in the Ukraine war. Recent wars have shown that the US is not very good at planning out exit strategies. Is that the case again ? If Putin continues in his current position, it will be worrisome for the US. If Putin goes, it may even be more worrisome for the US with Russia unraveling. While the other threads are talking tactics, I’d like this thread for strategizing what the end game would like in this war. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russia-ukraine-end-of-war-predictions/1030002)._
