But Russia is not going to leave. So back to Maroon Dawn's options.
1. Endless war
2. NATO (US) boots on the ground
3. Negotiated peace
or, based on a post you made a few pages back, are you good with an option
4. Ukraine collapses, Russia occupies, and Ukes fight a bloody asymetric war in their streets
I can't for a moment believe that Option 4 would be better than Option 3
There will be endless war without our aid. These people hate each other and it won't stop simply because we pull aid. More will die.
They are ONE ethnic people divided by NATO/EU and Western anti-Russian propaganda. Remove that.... and they won't hate each other because there will be no reason to.
My family and friends freely traveled between Ukraine and Russia in the 2000s and 2010s prior to 2014 with no issues. So did Russian and Ukrainian families.....
Illegitimate coups staged by the West can have far reaching consequences. Us breaking our commitment to not advance NATO membership eastward (Reagan, Bush 1, and Clinton assured him) is the other part of that.
But you don't want to consider that......... When people point that out... you just protest 'You are parroting Putin talking points'.
