More shooting does not equal less suffering.
Surrendering to an oppressive dictator would lead to far more.

War is peace.
No. War is war. Don't put your words in my mouth.
There are far more causes of suffering than war. Many of them worse than war.

...while russia invaded purely for humanitarian reasons. Denazification, stopping NATO, etc.. Donezk industry is not an issue, neither is Sevastopol. The destruction of thousands of tons of grain, needed in various regions of the world....thats collateral damage. Sucks to be somehwere in Africa i guess, but it does anyway, doesnt it?.
