It's gone from blocking all negotiations with Russia while saying "Ukraine can achieve a military victory" to "sanctions will overthrow Russia" to "sanctions on Russia aren't working" to "Ukraine can't militarily win" to now acknowledging that this can only end via negotiations.
Well, by "quick" I meant the last two stages happening in western outlets in just the last month.
Literally not a fallacy, your reasoning hinges on Great Man Theory. The two most popular parties (the second being the communist party) both mainly support the war and the assassination of a sitting President would not, in fact, make the country more dove-ish. It's a cartoon view of the conflict that the war spawned from Putin's brain and is his personal pet project that he is subjecting the rest of Russia to.

Serves me right for thinking libs would ever learn to interact with reality.
