Ukrainians

It is difficult to understand the situation in Ukraine. Those opposed to a compromise say that if Putin is not defeated he will just want more territory even if it means going into NATO countries. Putin tried to take over Ukraine who has, at best, a rag tag army and has run into a buzz saw. He has lost an estimate 200,000 troops and is in a stalemate. We are expected to believe that he will take on a United States led NATO force, which any casual observer can see, would obliterate what ever is left of the Russian military. The question now arises as to who benefits from the continuation of the war. The answers in some cases are obvious. The suppliers of military equipment. How about those who benefit from higher prices for commodities like wheat and fertilizer. What about China who is getting Russian oil at a deep discount. It appears that the strategy is a willingness to sacrifice Ukrainians to prevent nuclear war. Will that strategy be any different if Ukraine is defeated and Putin goes into Poland.
