You're wrong. We're going to stick with this. Russia has never been weaker - at the top is a class of corrupt, lazy drunks who vastly overestimate their ability/talent and could barely manage to host a winter olympic games at an exorbitant cost. This grueling war against an outmatched opponent has really exposed Russia for what it is.
Maybe you don't feel like it's enough, but you can't un-ring the bell of what the West is doing in response to this aggression. Europe in particular is going to find a new normal that excludes Russia from their economies as much as possible. For the U.S., losing Russia as a trading partner is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. And, most importantly, Biden I'm sure realizes that this is a proxy war against Trump, Xi, and the other wannabe tyrants of the world. We're not going to back down and hand a victory to Putin here - it just doesn't make any sense. There will be an independent Ukraine after this, period.
This seems like it is moving too quickly to still exist as a fluid issue 3 years from now - in early 2025. Trump should be a non-factor, except to steel our resolve.

A-men
Unless, of course, the one Donald Trump is our next president. God, please save us all.
PS Of course, only the we can save us all. If we are willing.

I hope you're right. There are an awful lot of people that love being bamboozled.
Trump was, is, and will be. A factor. And POS.
