Evan, thank you for this piece, looking forward to part 2. I wrote an article about the Ukranian situation in November. I think Putin will encircle the Sea of Azov, make sure he can supply Crimea and ensure Russian Fleets' access to the Black Sea, crush Ukranian ambitions about joining NATO , then stop and wait till US elections and see if we can stop a re-run of a Trump Presidency in 2024.

I'd appreciate you comments, thoughts and feedback on this article if you have time. Thanks.
