Sure. And some people could live up to 99 being a warmonger out of pure spite and stubbornness. Putin does seem capable of this, but if it's something like terminal illness, spite would only help so much... that said, the US could theoretically end the war at anytime. Sure, why not? It's a thing that has been done. So I think that is the leverage we hold in these "talks". Which is probably more just to build pressure than to try to negotiate anything immediate...
