This is more directed at those in the media whom I have heard advocating for a negotiation to trade territory for peace. Just compare the amount of territory Russia has stolen from Ukraine (46,000 sq miles) to the amount of territory the Arabs are trying to take from Israel (2,400 sq miles). If the Israelis are willing to fight for generations to retain that relatively small amount of territory, what makes us think Ukrainians will not fight just as hard for 19x the amount of land? And why should they not?
We should respect Ukraine’s wishes with how to respond to the invasion. Its their territory and it is their soldiers and civilians who are dying. If they want to fight to the last man standing, they should be armed and supported. They also shouldn’t be faulted if at some point they sue for peace. It is ridiculous that outsiders are whispering at how the ar should go.
