Trump's defeat does not mean Ukraine's success. Putin is betting on a long war

The article discusses the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the implications of the recent U.S. congressional elections. It argues that despite changes in U.S. leadership, Vladimir Putin is unlikely to change his aggressive stance towards Ukraine. The author expresses concern that wishful thinking among experts regarding U.S. influence on the war may lead to miscalculations. The potential for political turmoil in the U.S., including impeachment proceedings, could further complicate the situation and weaken American security in the face of Russian threats.
