Diplomacy is essential and should always be the first, second, and third line of defense. However, diplomacy backed by a stance of ‘turning the other cheek’ in the face of invasion often encourages further aggression, rather than preventing it.
In the end, when a nation is invaded and forced to defend itself, suggesting that they should simply surrender and allow themselves to be conquered is not only impractical but also dangerously naive. That mindset, rather than leading to peace, often perpetuates conflict.
Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict, but each time the West challenges them, they feel compelled to respond, leading to the escalations we’re witnessing. Ukraine is undoubtedly defending itself; however, it’s important to acknowledge that without Western support—particularly from the United States—they likely would have been unable to sustain the war effort. For some in the U.S., this conflict appears to be both a financial opportunity and a strategic affront to Russia. Since it’s not American lives being lost, there seems to be little incentive to push for an end to the hostilities. This continuous cycle of escalation poses a significant risk of spiraling into a global conflict, potentially leading to World War III.
Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict, Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict,
“I dont want to keep hitting you with a steel rod, but each time you try and roll over, I’m forced to hit you! this is all your fault”
This is just victim blaming, war-sympathizing, and Russia simping behavior. Russia started it, Russia continues it, and Russia could end it tomorrow at no loss of life. I don’t know WHY you are pro-Russia, but you ARE revealing yourself to be pro-war, as long as its anyone but the USA.
If Ukriane gave up today, thousands of people would STILL die as Russia invades, sends people to camps, ect ect. But i guess you are OK with that.
I am firmly in support of peace and stand with Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression. If we allow Russia to continue its advances unchecked, it is likely they will eventually seize all of Ukraine. Given the current trajectory of the conflict, it seems increasingly improbable that Ukraine can secure a military victory on its own. From this perspective, one could argue that failing to act aligns more with Russia’s interests, as they would ultimately take control of the entire country

“I don’t want Russia to take over a country, so i want to tell a foreign nation to roll over and surrender so its taken over by Russia”
NOT a strong argument.
