    This is what it means to surrender to Russia. Might save more people short term but sets yourself as Russia’s next badly equipped and badly trained pleb front line.

      2014 was already the result of appeasing Russia in 2008. And 2022 was the result of not pushing back hard enough in 2014. Anyone expecting that anything that’s not an humiliating Russian defeat is anything but a short cease fire is off their rocker (and missed all the learnings of how Western European imperialism collapsed, which I find problematic in the case of political leaders).
