  West does want a weaker Russia.  We are now seeing what happens when they have decades to gain strength.  Ukraine isn't their only target.

  I think Medvedev and a lot of Russian propaganda isn't necessarily supposed to be for internal consumption. I think they're intentionally trying to come across as unreasonable and intransigent in the hopes that eventually over a long period of time the west will grow tired of supporting the war knowing that Russia cannot be reasoned out of Ukraine. 
  They're trying to make it known that the only way Russia is leaving is if they're kicked out physically and hope that maybe after a prolonged conflict the west will give up trying to do it and cut our losses. 
  I hope and don't think it will work but no one can predict the future. >
  
  The thing is, the only country with real losses that is supporting Ukraine is Ukraine itself. Everyone else is just kind of trading equipment for a weaker Russia, most of which is outdated anyway. That and monetary support, but that also goes towards weakening Russia, which is something I'm sure much of the west wants.
  I highly doubt Ukraine will give up, and I don't really see a reason for support to stop, as even outside the obvious moral reasons for it, the west enjoys weakening Russia without putting much at all on the line.
