    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?

          The fact that Russia didnt shock and awe it's way across a country that has the entirety of NATO backing it means Russia is losing? Lmao ok.
          NATO is running out of equipment because it's supplying Ukraine. Russia is basically taking on NATO and winning, but go off

      I disagree, but even if I agreed I'd accept the material reality that is that Ukraine is bleeding people. The have a volksturm going on, it's a meat grinder, I think they should stop this mindless slaughter
