What's the Best Case Scenario?

Russian President could declare victory and go back to that. But so much has ruptured in the course of the last, you know, four days. The international criminal court is opening proceedings or at least an investigation into the war. So one can imagine that given his sort of unhinged speech at the beginning of this, they could even start thinking about opening up prosecutions for genicide. It's striking how quickly and how far a lot of this has gone that i wonder whether those inducements are credible any more.
