It's entirely unlikely to end that way - but it's a great starting position for negotiation. Maybe, if the russians decide not to succeed from the world after all, they can get ukraine to let the war criminals in their country go home? That would be a great outcome for russia - but they'll have to put in the work.
The majority of Americans want a peace deal to be made "ASAP" though. Your 32 percent don't want that. You want to bleed the Russians out, for as long as it takes. For years. But let's leave the Ukraine war discussion in that thread, as this thread has gone off topic enough already.
And that's all besides the point. You can take your position of defund the police or any other minority position you hold. I'm not going to say that those positions are bad because they are supported by a minority of people, as that would be lazy argumentation, like you whenever you resort to going on a diatribe about me being racist when you have no actual argument to provide for the actual discussion at hand. You are the one who seemed to be making the argument that the Press Secretary was using neutral (neither positive or negative) language when referencing that it's extreme to not hold a majority supported position (as you provided me with a neutral dictionary definition as your argument), but now you are saying that extreme is only ever an insult. Seems to be you who can't make up their mind, or you can't just admit that the Press Secretary could have phrased things better to prevent any misunderstanding to what should have been a layup easy case to make against bigots who seek to take away women's rights, because you're not ok with criticism because she's black, and you pretend that you haven't heard Kamala Harris speak a word during the last two years so you don't have to criticize her either and admit that she is a failure, her own staff hates her, and reports keep telling us over and over again how much the Administration is cringing behind the scenes at Kamala's performances. You treat non-white millionaire politicians with kid gloves, though, because you don't think they're strong enough to handle criticism, and that, is not respect and equality. That is something else altogether.
