    The quickest way to achieve peace is for Putin yo withdraw.

    And then get couped and have the war continue under the leadership of a right wing hardliner

    Please look up critiques of great man theory as it seems relevant to your line of thinking on this matter.

      So what you are saying is Putin messed up and is in too deep now, no? Seems like the easiest solution would have been to not invade UkrIne

        No, if he didn't he would have been couped and the invasion launched anyway. Russia is a dictatorship of capital. Putin answers to the national bourgeoisie of Russia.

        Also hypotheticals like that aren't really relevant to discussing actual exit strategies. Unless you've found a way to hop realities.

          Then they deserve defeat at the hands of Ukraine. If they want to go into a war on their own volition, then they will have to face to consequences. If that requires NATO might, then so be it. Peace was always an option.

            Okay, but it doesn't seem Ukraine is winning, even with NATO supporting them. So, that means a settlement is probably the best option to save lives all around.

              I disagree. The fact that Russia (a supposed world super power) is still there means Ukraine is winning. Russia can't beat little ol' Ukraine in a war. I'd say they are in a better position than we think.

                Lol.

                No, it means its getting increasingly bloody as more and more Russians and Ukrainians get thrown in the meat grinder without a path to victory for Ukraine. That isn't winning.

                    And Biden should give everyone a pony.

                    You understand that "they should behave like they should behave" isnt very useful in understanding politics and developing personally actionable solutions, right?
