Incoming Wikipedia summary on the war's outcome if Trump has his way
Russian victory -Russia annexes most of Southern Ukraine -Ukraine barred from Nato -US lifts sanctions on Russia
And probably a few other points. For those (mainly on other sites) who've told me it won't be a Russian victory as a 'compromise' will be involved, please say if you think the above is likely and if so, how exactly is that not a Russian victory?

It's absolutely a Russian victory, a victory against Ukraine, USA and Europe, but Trump doesn't care about any of that, I would not even be surprised if Putin said "Hey, they deal Zelenskyy offered you, the land we've stolen has those resources too" so Trump will think he can get Russian resources and force Ukraine to surrender their resources too, whether they win or lose.
It's only a Russian loss if you think Putin gives a shit about ~1m deaths of Russian citizens, spoiler alert, he doesn't, half of them were poor people plucked from ethnic minority regions anyway that Russia is already incredibly racist towards, they weren't emptying out St Petersburg or Moscow but the poorest regions, the undesirables, Putin getting rid of them would be a bonus to him.
He loses ~1m Russians but gains 15-20% of Ukraine and a load of resources, almost the whole of the coastline, he can sell it to his public as Russia beating NATO and nobody will stand up to him in Russia. Then he will replenish his army, fix the horrific blunders they made the first time around, then try again on the next Democrat President, Crimea becomes 15% of Ukraine, 15% of Ukraine becomes 30% of Ukraine, 30% of Ukraine becomes 45% of Ukraine. He will keep going and going because guess what, Ukraine already had a security agreement and it meant shit the 1st and 2nd time.
Ukraine will be plundered of its resources by America trying to pay them back, meanwhile half of the Ukrainian population won't return home because they will know an invasion will happen again in their lifetime, Ukraine's economy will suffer as a result, the country won't be able to maintain its military to a decent standard, while everyone lifts the sanctions on Russia and goes back to trading with them. Ukraine suffers and would absolutely need to be kept on military life support by Europe and would become more suspectable to political instability.
Hey world, it's okay to invade a country, just steal some land and hunker down until America gets bored.
