9. It's an old failed plan.

First seen with respect to the conflict in Ukraine in 2015 when sanctions and other financial things would "guarantee" that sooner rather than later--but not immediately--Crimea would be returned to Ukraine. May even take a decade!

This was barking insane at the time and yet a lot of people believed it. And we've seen how that paragon of planning virtue worked out.

Crazy the first time. Rather crazier after being dragged through the mud an being given nothing more than a cursory brushing to get the larger pieces of crud off of it.
