The war will go on. Autocrats who invade other countries and engage in civilian slaughter must be stopped, not catered to.
And now we arrive at the crux of it all, haven’t we? I posed 2 options to Al (severe sanctions on India and China and direct use of force by NATO). He ruled out for the former and didn’t answer on the latter. Your turn. What are your options?
Our best bet for peace is to continue arming Ukraine. Peace will come when the last Russian troops leave the Donbas and Crimea, and not before. Anything short of that simply allows Putin to prepare his armed forces for another go at it.
Lol. Another variant of the “kick Putin right down to the last Ukrainian”. What happens when you run out of Ukrainians?
Of course, Putin doesn’t look so good, and rumors swirl about his health. Not that we can pin our hopes on that, but with his death will come a huge deflation in the will to keep fighting in Ukraine. Not that there aren’t similar Russian authoritarian nationalists with similar warped views about Russian “destiny” in Eurasia…. but the war has drained Russia, and it’s doubtful that a successor would attempt to build his own legacy by picking up a failed war and running with it.</iL
So given this bit, what is the best course of action to take?
