China has learned an important lesson from Russia's failure, that invading Taiwan would not be easy. They might change things 10 years from now, but right now it does not look possible. Even if they try to change things 10 years from now, they will not know if they were successful. The Chinese want certainties.

"Brokered a deal" assumes there could have been a pre-invasion deal acceptable to Putin and acceptable to Ukraine. If you're making an argument based on that assumption you need to say what that deal could have been. You not only fail to say it you fail to say anything. Instead, a childish spout.

You fucking fool at projecting atrocities of Russia on President Biden as you should direct your complaint toward the following facts:

The massive courage of the U.S. and foreign allies arising to the occasion at dealing with this Russian invasion of a sovereign nation of the Ukraine as an unprovoked war is indeed awesome:
Opening Statement to Senate Foreign Relations Committee: “U.S. Efforts to Support Ukraine Against Russian Aggression”
Good morning, Chairman Menendez, Ranking Member Risch, and distinguished members of the Committee. It is an honor to be back in the presence of the Committee for another hearing on security assistance, this time for a discussion focused on United States security assistance to Ukraine. I am pleased to be here alongside Assistant Secretary Donfried, Ambassador Van Schaack, and Assistant Administrator McKee.
It was less than two months ago that I sat before the Committee and spoke about security assistance as an instrument of foreign policy. As we focus today on Ukraine, I am proud to say that the security assistance we have provided has served our foreign policy objectives to support Ukraine’s ability to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity and to stand against Russia’s brutal and unprovoked assault. And we are all in awe of the remarkable courage of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian people as they push back on Russia’s unforgiveable assault. And I want to thank Congress, we could not have provided the weapons Ukraine needs to defend itself without your support.
There is simply no justification or provocation for Russia’s war. It is nothing less than a direct challenge to the rules-based international order established since the end of World War II. And the Russian attack threatens to return us to decades of war like those that ravaged Europe in the 20th Century."

What is Biden doing interfering with UKrainian affairs ? Ukraine isn't in NATO and it's a long, long way from Washington.
Yanqui, go home. The world has witnessed enough US foreign clustercfucks.

We don't know what happened after that . "

NATO is larger, stronger, and more unified than anytime in it's history.
Ukraine, a second rate European nation, has fought a world military superpower to a standstill.
It will take years to rebuild the Russian army, and rather than weaken NATO, Putin has strengthened NATO.
