Actually there is a good argument for not wanting Trump to be too far ahead at the moment as it will be a huge incentive for desperation by the MSM , the lawfare brigade and the fraudsters to take action.

“Ukraine struck a major oil refinery in Moscow and other targets across Russia in one of its largest aerial barrages since the start of Russia’s invasion, expanding a campaign of drone attacks on energy facilities and further highlighting the vulnerability of strategic infrastructure deep inside Russia.
Russia’s defense ministry said on Sunday that its air defenses had intercepted or shot down more than 150 drones in 15 regions. At least one of them detonated over a major refinery in Moscow that is owned by state energy giant Gazprom, officials said, while another hit a power station in the neighboring Tver region.”

The human sacrifice in the Russian/Ukraine War remains high but relatively unknown, as reporting is deliberately sketchy. Some say over 600,000 have been killed, while other estimates vary between a 1000 and 2000 casualties per day. But little is discussed here regarding these numbers. What seems to matter is who wins what skirmishes, who blows up an opponent’s power plant or oil refinery. However, no matter who ”wins” there will be unpleasant repercussions. If Russia is triumphant Ukraine will lose more territory and more people will be killed. If Ukraine unlikely pulls off a miracle, cornering Russia into a losing position, Russia may be incentivized into using its nukes. Negotiating terms for the war to end, IMO, provides the least amount of possible carnage.

I don’t want to rehash the difference in your stance and others. You will not change the way you view the war and neither will those who support Ukraine defending itself.
on the subject solely of the use of nuclear weapons the idea that Russia is considering using them is a tool of those who don’t support Ukraine defending itself. There is absolutely no chance od Russia deploying nuclear weapons. There’s more chance of Biden re entering and winning the election than Russia using them.
your comment, “There are analysts out there, privy to reasons underlying the initiation of this war” is, well…poppycock. These alleged analysts are either Ron Paul supporting “experts” or those with an agenda who have no experience either on the ground, or in the actual prosecution of the pre-war build up.

Speaking of WV…
…about time I gave you the most recent update.
WV AG Morissey is well ahead in the polls in race for governor (about 60-40).
Gov. Justice is ever further ahead in the polls for U.S. Senate (about 65 -35)Justice clobbered Rep. Alex Mooney for the R nomination in May
HOWEVER, Justice has some big negatives. TRUE, that they have been out there for a while and have not hurt him in polls. He was a D when first elected governor. (Manchin had a big hand in getting him to run).
Firstly, Justice proposed a $450 MM tax increase, legislature shot it down. He went to war with the R dominated legislature –and lost. Then he switched from being a D to being an R and was reelected governor as an R.
Second, He has never been a hands on governor like Manchin was. Even refusing to live in Charleston during the legislative session. But he takes credit for all the good things the R legislature does.
Third, He is in BIG trouble financially. He bought the Greenbriar Resort out of bankruptcy and got it up and running. But he and his family own over 100 other companies, did not put them in a blind trust while he was governor. Has refused to pay contractors for work done, has refused to remit WV sales taxes that he collected, did not make payments that were deducted from his employees for health care coverage, refuses to pay tens of millions of mine safety violations (coal mines he owns).
Fourth, he–like Trump–claims all his financial issues are politically motivated, etc.
Fifth, he is not the brightest bulb in the room (like Trump). Is an opportunist (like Trump) switched parties (like Trump) still has a strong following despite all his flaws (like Trump) and does not have very strongly held and clear policy positions (like Trump). He is popular because of his folksy ways, and his prop that is with him all the time–his ugly, old and fat Englsih Bulldog (“Baby Dog”).
Lastly, he is NOT is good health. If elected, I doubt if he could fill out a 6-year term, but at least another R would be selected to replace him.
There now exists various arms or wings of the R party. Some of these wings do not like nor trust Morissey and talk is, they are planning to work against his election for governor. I still think Morissey will win.
I have never been a big fan of Big Jim Justice, but an R from WV in the U.S. Senate is better than any D.
