So the goal must be to kick Putin out QUICK...& TOTALLY...without NATO forces firing a shot, and not being the brute force doing the physical kicking out...UNLESS...he stays Jabba.
So the need to both seize upon Vlad's newly exposed, hugely vulnerable power position, while too taking away any opportunity to play the "Victim Card". The added benefit of taking away the Victim Card, is it forces Xi to forcefully tell Vlad "NO...PERIOD" on any use of nuclear weapons.
Note: As much as Xi despises Putin for this nightmare public relations Ukraine debacle, he more or less signed off on it just before the invasion...and he still needs Putin and Russia as is to survive. Losing him/it sets the stage for Xi/China being totally cornered..see author's NATO2 - Anchorage to Vladivostok article:
That Xi mandate too totally neuters Putin's twisted attempt to pervert the Russian Military Defensive Doctrine's "Escalate to De-Escalate (EDE)" use of nuclear weapons inside sovereign (pre 2014 invasion) Ukrainian borders...requiring too the Ukrainians don't press their attack into sovereign Russian territory (technically the defined parameter for use of EDE...to solely defend "sovereign Russian territory" if attacked).
Impossible?
Maybe not...NOW.
While Russia is indeed an outright criminal invader, time has now allowed it to defensively establish (in both WW1 and WW2 terms, trench and dig itself in...DEEP...like an army of unwanted burrowing moles on a golf course) itself in country and "perceived" with its populace and its allies as "legitimately" being there...stunning how propaganda can sway simple minds...inherently not open to alternative sources of news.
