So if you want to give Trump a short polticial win, cool. But if you want to stop future wars trying to force the smaller and innocent nation into a peace at any cost has some historic precedent. Do you know which historic prrcedent I might be talking about and what happened after?
The long lasting peace we had was a result of a rules based order. Trump and Putin wants to bring back raw strength into geopolitics, which will lead to an era of wars.
There's a simple solution to that. The war can end tomorrow. All Russia needs to do is get out of Ukraine. All of it.
Simple to do, easy to achieve. No more Russians need to die.
What cost is there to Russia to get out of Ukraine but the bruising of Putin's ego? That is a small price to pay.
It's like saying the US should've surrendered to Japan after the first bomb.
Japan knew they were in an unwinnable position, unlike Ukraine.
Ukraine is simply unable to win, and the options are only to negotiate or to continue feeding the meat grinder with Ukrainian men and women. Simple choice.
This is enturely the point the FUD is in overtime. Russia does not have 1 year of equipment losses left.
They can replenish easily, while US supply chains will take 5-7 years to even replenish the equipment already deployed in several categories.
Russian gains are accelerating too. It doesn't take a Putin shill to see blatant reality, so why bother denying basic reality?
Analysts believe Ukraine will collapse completely in 4 months without further US assistance. [1]

Why do you suggest that a side that has valiantly resisted the invader forget about their hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded and simply submit?
Putin thinks Ukraine is not a real country. Putin thinks Ukrainians are not a real people. Putin thought he could flip Ukraine in three days.
Ukraine has spent three years explaining to him that he is wrong.
Russian apathy and nihilism won't ever change that.
Accepting forever war is evil and you are supporting the thousands more Ukrainians who will be killed.
Zelensky has repeatedly and explicitly stated he supports forever war 'at any cost'.
This is the least ambiguous war you're ever likely to see. There is clear right and there is clear wrong.
Ukraine is clearly in the right. Russia is clearly in the wrong.
Submission to the aggression of an authoritarian regime that has invaded your nation is the dumbest, most nihilistic, most futureless choice available.
It's not rational to choose it.
