do you agree that "defeating Russia" is not a reasonable exit strategy?In Ukraine? I am for Putin going home. He is the aggressor. He can end it in a minute.
You understand that the Ukrainians do not have, nor want an exit strategy? This is their home; they do not want to exit their own homes. Exit strategies are for countries in other countries. We needed an exit strategy for Iraq, because it is not our country. We do not want an exit strategy for the USA.do you agree that "defeating Russia" is not a reasonable exit strategy?

When we look at that, some level of defeat is the only way to get Putin to accept an exit strategy. If Putin is feeling no pain, why would he stop attacking Ukraine?
This was never about the Russians wanting Ukraine back, this was about the Russian speakers in Ukraine being abused and the use of Ukraine by the American Empire for aggression against Russia.Your problem is that you think of Ukraine as a united country. The truth is it's had divisions for a long time, but ever since the U.S. helped instigate the 2014 Euromaidan coup, those divisions became severe enough to start a civil war. Even after that, though, western Ukraine could have just let eastern Ukraine be more independent. But no, it wanted to bring it to heal, and never mind that all those Russian speakers and ethnic Russians were sitting right next to Russia, who was not exactly pleased at the Ukrainian army slaughtering of said Ukrainians.
Putin actually had a lot of patience, considering. 8 years trying to negotiate a lasting peace treaty. But as the Ukrainian leadership and later former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, they were just buying time to build up their army to once again try retaking eastern Ukraine by force. Something they did indeed start trying to do mere days before Putin started his military operation in Ukraine. As a matter of fact, the Donbass Republics specifically -requested- Putin to help them out.
Even at -that- point, Russia was prepared to head back to its country so long as Ukraine finally agreed to some concessions that were quite reasonable. Let the Donbass Republics basically be independent of Ukraine, an agreement not to join NATO and ofcourse stop bombarding Eastern Ukraine. There were other terms, but those were the fundamental ones. Ukraine -almost- agreed, but in swoops Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister at the time, to tell Zelensky not to take the deal.
Now, things are different. Russia's lost a fair amount of Russian lives in this war, they've held referendums in 4 Ukrainian regions where they claim that all the regions voted to join Russia. I think it -very- unlikely that Ukraine will ever control most if not all of the land it's lost again. Even now, however, things can still get worse. Russia continues to gain territory day by day. The longer Ukraine waits to get back to the negotiating table, the more territory Russia's likely to take.
As proven by what the Russians agreed to at Istanbul.Your problem is that you think of Ukraine as a united country.

Well I am more "lets not do this happen till after I am dead"....but that plan is not doing very well.Let's just hope it doesn't come to this.

hmmm.lol at these ridiculous hysterical ravings about 'WW 3 N Stuff!!!'. A country with a GDP less than that of Texas and can't even drive out an enemy less than 25% of its size isn't going to be able to start a world war, much less sustain an economy at all. Time to finish off Putin and sell the place to a theme park developer. McCain was right when he said Russia wad just a gas station pretending to be a super power. The BRICS fantasies are even more hilarious.
hmmm.
sounds deranged.
