I don't really understand this take, Russia can just withdraw from Ukraine and end all the killing in the first place.

And Jeff Bezos could make me rich by parting with just one of his many billions. But alas, let's both get back to reality.

His ex-wife did, she's the better human.

Did Jeff Bezos enter your home and annex your attic?

Has nothing to do with it. I wrote my comment to create an equally absurd and meaningless point to illustrate how silly that "the war would end if Russia would leave" mantra is.

Like my comment, it's technically true and completely not worth discussing, because it will never happen.

By that logic, the world should have just given Hitler everything he wanted too, right, because Germany leaving would never happen. The Soviet Union left Afghanistan when the costs got too high. So did the US. Under what basis do you aver that Putin leaving Ukraine can never happen?

There is a legitimate debate as to what cost is worth paying, if any (as well as what cost comes from not doing anything - ask the Baltics), but to present the situation as fait accompli?

Why would they do that? They're winning the war.
