        Your comment makes me want to see a fan cut of Captain America where he just gets the shit beaten out of him and his limbs ripped off and he dies and every five minutes "I can do this all day" but it never turns around and he fucking dies. He never appears to make a come back. He just keeps getting his ass kicked and never stops saying the line. Except it's not his ass getting kicked, it's some random children he took off the street and forced to be child soldiers or he'd kill them. And he just keeps saying "I can do this all day" while tens of thousands of people keep getting killed and not once for any reason or goal that progress is made towards. Just tens of thousands of dead bodies every month. "I can do this all day" except he's not even there he's on an internet forum. It's still tens of thousand of dead bodies but not his. And he'll never give up. But he'll never get any closer to winning. Just death to countless people who aren't him. He can do it all day. And every time he says it you can tell he feels really cool and badass. He's Captain America. He doesn't quit just because it looks bad.

        Do you think it is realistic that Russia will unilaterally pull out? The war will end when Russia leaves, but Russia isn't going to leave until they are pushed out, negotiations are had, or Ukraine is destroyed. The first possibility is becoming increasingly more unlikely, and the last is something that nobody should want

        That leaves negotiations. I think Ukraine should come to the table while they still have some leverage, which is decreasing every week that they throw their men into the meat grinder without meaningful gains.

          It doesn’t leave only negotiations. Russia tried for 10+ years in Afghanistan. The US the same, there and in Vietnam. There is such as giving up and going home. That’s the “win” a small state can inflict on a large one. I don’t think that’s where Ukraine and Russia is headed, but there’s a quick for Ukraine and a slow “win” for Ukraine.

            Wait, so your ideal is instead of negotiations, in the same vein as Afghanistan, Ukraine experiences this horrible war for another 9 years and then becomes a state ruled by the fighters involved in the war with the most extremist far right ideology rule it as a theocracy? To be clear that ideology in this case is Nazism.

            You don't sound like an ally of the Ukrainian people.

            Yeah why negotiate now while we still have hundreds of thousands of lives to throw into the meat grinder.

            So in your mind there's no situation where ukraine doesn't win this war?

              For sure there’s a real risk Ukraine isn’t winning this war. But there’s never been a war where there’s absolute certainty one side will win, until we get to the “downfall” times.

                So you think they should just keep sending conscripts to die until the downfall times or until Russia just decides to leave?

            transphobe? in the 40s? NO WAY

            BRO SPAIN? Stalin was doing his best to fund the republicans you fucking dumbass. He did not ever want to join the axis.

            Lol the country that took berlin and eliminated the most fascists on the planet to date is actually fascism, you are very smart.

            Also telling the trans girl to commit suicide? not very cash money at all.

            He wanted to join the axis

            Only after being rebuffed by a West more interested in appeasement throughout the 1930s. Stalin knew the USSR was ideologically opposed to both the Liberal Democracies and the Fascists of the time, but couldn't fight both should it have come to that, so he was looking for allies or at the least, a non-aggression pact.

            The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is also not the Tripartite Pact, which is what created the Axis powers.
