If Russians could vote clearly without fear of reprisal what percentage would agree with this war I wonder?
I cannot see a durable peaceful solution. Neither side wants surrender nor compromise. So many lives have been lost, it has to be worth something. Of course I think Russia should just pack up and leave, or if not accept the lines where they are and make no further demands of Ukraine to demilitarize etc. But the situation will always remain hot and ready to go. Maybe an asteroid will sort things out.
I'm not sure how they feel, but you could be right.
This is what I was getting at though. It's unwinnable, and also unsustainable, so there will have to be compromise if it's going to end. Getting exactly what you want isn't real.
I said way back in April Trump would eventually negotiate peace, but then get vilified for concessions and be called a Putin puppet. Seems like it's all going to plan.
But peace in that area as well as ending the fight in the middle east would be helpful for the planet overall.
