It is ignorant to believe that Ukraine's capitulation would mean that everyone lives happy in peace forever after. Russian officials and national TV have floated the idea of invading Baltic states and other countries more than once. Is the plan to just let them take whatever they want, and condemn any resistance? What happened to defending allies and democracies?
If you think this is like Germany 90 years ago, I recommend you read up some history.
And the march on kyiv was an attempt to strongarm them into that deal, yeah.
Most of the Russian proposed peace plans are basically. "Leave it alone and stop fighting".
Hardly the demand of Kiev on a silver platter and would save a lot of resoruces/lives.
Is Ukranian pride worth it's economic destruction, worth lining the pockets of the war merchants or worth the continued spiraling death toll?
It's a little less David vs Goliath and more aknin to Davids little cousin tommy with a waterpistol vs a flame thrower...
