Any end of the war that shows aggression pays off dividends means the start of many other aggressions elsewhere, a new world order of might-makes-right that can only stabilise again once everyone is armed with nukes.
I don't think any outcome at this time would be a success for Russia, but feeding the meatgrinder until the world runs out of Ukranians just to send a message about aggression seems stupid.
Of course might-makes-right, the current world order was built on that - the military superiority of the US after WW2. Since then the champion of that new world order didn't shy away from invading other countries.
You write: "until the world runs out of Ukranians". This is very offensive, as it erases the process by which some Ukrainians are dying.
Anyways, back to basics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia
Population Growth rate Decrease -0.39 (2020)[2]
Birth rate Decrease 9.8 births/1,000 population (2020)[2]
Death rate Neutral decrease 14.6 deaths/1,000 population (2020)[2]
Life expectancy Decrease 71.54 years (2020)[2]
• male Decrease 66.49 years (2020)[2]
• female Decrease 76.43 years (2020)[2]
It is Russian that are deciding collectively that the world should run out of Russians. This is a sad fact, I wish Russians would get fairness and hope some day.
