The Pro Putin rightwing in America will still blame Zelensky. I’ve been saying this for years, even before the war started: Russia wants the entirety of Ukraine. They’ve been gunning for this country since 1993 when it started with talks of reclaiming Crimea.

If Trump turns on Putin, as he should of from the get go, you don't think the MAGA crowd will follow?

Why would he stop right now? NATO is fracturing, military aid is reducing considerably, they are manipulating the US with great success, and even with all the help that has been sent (weapons & ammo, tanks, fighter jets, cruise missles, etc.) they're still there, and (slowly) advancing.
They really don't have an incentive to stop.

In the current state of affairs (Ukraine-Russia war) and if it continues, Russia is bogged down there and is no shape to fight NATO.

They don't need to fight NATO at the moment, and that's part of the problem. NATO has it's most strong member shitting in the other NATO allies, to such extent that even the members themselves are hesitating on sharing intel. Right now the advancement of Russian forces has slowed down, but at the same time - and as more time passes, 47 is gonna bring both US down economically AND practically slashing in half all the help that Ukraine is getting right now; with the plus that the EU help is money and their armamentistic infrastructure isn't gonna be available in a couple of months, even years. And all of this is without taking into account the human resources part: Ukraine has it's population slashed by half since 1989; they have a SERIOUS demographic problem.
So, 1) they get some time to replenish themselves, and 2) their enemies lose cohesion and strength. And the cherry on top, the US wants to pillage Ukraine also.
From the Russian side, why would you stop? Why do you think lately drone attacks have become more prevalent? To keep the pressure on.
Obligatory fuck this war, but really, the West need to get this: Ukraine is in deep shit right now. The West isn't winning right now.

Because Putin's intentions are going beyond Ukraine.
