This is such a silly take. Anyone who has ever been to war, trained for war, or who understands geopolitical conflict, understands that there are only winners and losers. The winners do what it takes to win.I think there are vacancies in ISIS rank.Most of them from iraqis who lost their home and families from american invasion.
Based on what you propose,I think you should join them too
Russia made a major tactical error in invading Ukraine and assuming that the wealthy countries in the West would not let the people of Russia bleed out as a result. It is in the West's best interest to make the Russian people pay a dear price for their aggression. Why? Because they are our enemy and have been since the rise of Communism.
As long as the Ukrainians have the will to fight, the West should continue to arm them in their fight against Russia. It's beneficial for Ukraine in their attempt to salvage their homeland and it's beneficial for the West in our attempt to smash the Russian economy, deeply damage the Russian war machine, turn the Oligarchs on the Putin Regime and destabilize the Russian Duma. If the people of Russia must suffer as a consequence, so be it. They have no problem making the civilians of Ukraine suffer, therefore, they deserve no pity in return.
If it costs the West $100 billion dollars in war funding, to make this a drawn out conflict, and the Russian government is forced to steal from its own citizens to fund their war effort, such is life. Russia and its people will gotten what they've deserved.
More importantly, a deeply weakened Russia will be abused and taken advantage of by China, in terms of energy and commercial food trade. When Russia becomes a World pariah, the Chinese will swoop in and bleed them dry further.
