That's why, just like with Hitler, appeasement won't work. He'd just interpret that as a sign of weakness, and be emboldened to keep going further.Comment

But given how Biden is so senile/weak/woke, Putin wont be as scared of Nato as he used to be.

FWIW, I voted two(ish)
I don't think Putin ever had any intention of permanently occupying the whole of Ukraine, because for a start he doesn't have the manpower. Remember Adolph had two or three milion men in the Wehrmacht, and Stalin much the same I think, if not even more, and one needs those kinds of numbers to effectively occupy much hostile territory.
Putin wants only maybe a larger portion of East and especially south east Ukraine, so (among other reasons) he ends up with almost all Ukraine's wheat growing areas and he can make China more dependent on "Russian" wheat exports and stop them acting up over *their* border dispute with Russia!
All this current carry on in the rest of Ukraine is just to pin down Ukrainian forces while he consolidates his hold on Eastern Ukraine, and maybe to grab and eliminate the current Ukrainian leadership if he can, although how well his "cunning plan" is panning out we'll have to see.

As soon as this escalates, Putin will launch the hypersonic nuclear weapons, no country in the world has any defence against that, first strike wins everything. MAD ended with the Russians and Chinese beating the USA and Europe to this tech.
