As the conflict in Ukraine enters its second month, distraught members of the public are bound to ask: ‘when will the war end?’. The honest answer is nobody knows. The actual war in Ukraine may last for months or years; the greater Cold War II of which it is the first skirmish will likely continue for decades, even beyond the lifetime of those reading these words. And it is likely to become more brutal. The heartrending scenes of combat and siege, as with Mariupol, repeat what history endlessly teaches: as combat drags on everyone’s behavior gets uglier,

It will end when Putin is assassinated. He isn't just responsible for harming our economy. He's has destroyed his own nation's as well. He has always been a flaming ego-maniac and an over the top nationalist yearning for the USSR good old days. But I think he has become as demented as Biden to even imagine this war could end well from a Russian point of view.

Some lines of reporting have zelinsky as the demented one to have spurned putin’s reasonable requests for negotiations. And bidet could have stopped fanning the flames and given assurances. One has to wonder what “our” policy is and who has designed and initiated it and to what purpose. And who is so enamored of climate change that they would sacrifice our security to pursue it. Surely not john effin carrion. Isn’t he just a stooge?

But we've always been at war with Eastasia. Even Putin has to be a minor player in the global reset, so if he's taken out somebody else will fill in, until the process is completed. Soros and cronies probably think they can already smell victory.
This war and the conveniently-timed reprise of covid constraints will push past November, probably into January. Maybe even through the '24 election. Gotta have those universal, unregulated, unaccountable absentee ballots again...

It will end when Putin has something he can claim as an accomplishment. If he just quits the Russian people will want to know what they got in exchange for loss of life, property, etc. At the moment it looks like it will end when the Russians run out of bombs.

Ukraine needs to find a way for Putin to save face, else it will not end any time soon.

When will the war in Libya end? Yemen? Somalia? Ukraine is shaping up to be the next 20 year war. Maybe a poorly supported cease fire now and then. Lots of dead civilians and soldiers just like all the others. None of the people who caused this will suffer. Hillary never lost a moment of sleep over dead Libyans.

This is the new normal.....things which we thought would never come to pass are well on there way to becoming reality. We will not come out the other side of any of this Putin/Brandon mess in one piece.

Conflict is no stranger to the history of virtually any nation or region. From the time of Cain and Abel violence has been used for a purpose, often ill-advisedly. We have returned to the usual course of history, this time with new weapons and technology. Russia wants its territory returned and the West off its doorstep. What's hard to understand?
Conquest is the mighty flowing river of history...ask those indiginous Americans how it worked, from the Awoks to Aztecs to Cherokees, Sioux and Apaches. Today the USA is subject to its own Ukraine...called the Mexican Reconquista along the southern border.

The other important question is *how* the war will end. Not when.

"When Will the War End?" - good question and the answer is simply, when the Ukrainian government gets exactly what it wants and nothing less, they were, after all, invaded by the communist hordes and deserve to demand everything they want from the Soviet Union and deserve it

How does one say quagmire in Russian?
Biden likes what he is seeing. The war takes attention off the economy and the pandemic. The hawks in our government like the war. It's tying Russia down. Scary thought of the day: Biden is going to come out of this looking good.
Putin won't back down. He might well be assassinated by his own military if he did. Putin is so heavily invested in Ukraine, the only option left open for him is complete conquest. In a way Putin has been played and duped into this war.
Zylensky won't back down. He is fighting for his homeland, and by now realizes most of his people that want to fight absolutely hate the Russians and won't stop until the last Russian is out of Ukraine. Never mind that he probably could have thrown Russia a bone, and avoided war at this time, but it would likely have occurred later. Zylensky chose war.
The Russian people do not support this war. They are likely asking what Ukraine ever did to them. The Ukrainian people support the war for now, but war weariness will change that. At some point they will question their leader's choices. Too bad none of them can do anything to stop the war.
This is going to go on for a while folks.
