It seems like there's no way that Biden can make any negotiation with Russia seem like a win to his base so if he wins it's almost an automatic 4 more years of war. But if Trump wins he could make most of the concessions that Russia wants and still sell it as "the best deal" to his fans. Is a trump win the best hope for shortening war?

Disclaimer: I would never vote for trump, I also won't vote for Biden, I'm also in a state that always goes one way so it doesn't matter at all.

Biden has basically staked his administration on this war. Even if he gets reelected, I don't see how he can be viewed as a credible leader internationally.

Biden has no international credibility. He's regarded as a half-senile figurehead that other world leaders need to begrudgingly tolerate.
