    Why would they lose more than they’ve already lost? Their expectation is that western aid will continue, allowing them an advantage over Russia in the long term. Russia thinks Western aid will dry up (maybe due to trump being elected) so their anticipated outcome is better in the long run. When the question of enduring western aid is answered, there will be less of a difference in expectations, meaning continued conflict isn’t advantages since it’d cost more than both sides gains expectations.

    I highly recommend looking into the game theory behind the war. https://youtube.com/@gametheory101
