If the war is so bad, Ukraine could stop it right now. All it has to do is surrender and then do whatever Russia wants. No one wants to resign themselves to that brutally oppressive fate though. Looks like they'd rather send all their men to their deaths than do that.
Sometimes there's no diplomacy and only violence gets your enemy to stop.
Yeah, the point is the situation in the US is lightyears away from being that bad.
"You may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Churchill
