My point is entirely a pragmatic one. If defeat against a nuclear power is inevitable, why prolong human suffering??
Ask a ukranian....but none of this seems entirely on the up and up. No one is prolonging human suffering, or an unnecessary war, but putin.
The dead do not speak; the living must do that for them. Thousands have been murdered after being tortured. One could claim, with some justification, that the Russian army is a bunch of losers and that the Ukrainians are the par excellence fighters. Fact is that the war has surpassed six months and thousands on both sides continue to die.
I see the sunk cost fallacy here where others see an imminent Ukrainian victory.
