He's a professional military analyst in Denmark but speaks flawless, unaccented English. He regularly makes content about the war in Ukraine and this video gives his views on what a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine/Russia war could look like. He warns that it is entirely possible for Russia to win the war at the negotiating table even if it lets Ukraine keep all of the territory that Russia doesn't yet occupy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhpoNL1gZbw [14 minutes] He begins by explaining that Russia's idea of victory is NOT to conquer all of Ukraine's territory but rather to hamstring it politically so that it doesn't do things that piss off the Russians, like joining NATO. Almost no one in the West understands this. -- Rhino
