We need to have the following mentality:
1. We will provide no real support, unless it benefits us, to the Ukraine.
2. We will derive maximum benefit from the resolution of the conflict, including at the expense of the Ukraine.
3. We will end the US-Russia conflict bilaterally if multilateral talks are not successful, and this may include allowing Russia to continue their own bilateral relationship with the Ukraine.
Quite simply, if Russia will do things that benefit us, then we have no reason to spend our efforts on this conflict. We have numerous benefits we can extract from this situation, and we should extract them to the maximum extent possible.
