"The irresolvable dilemma facing Western leaders is that this is a no-win situation. How can they militarily defeat Russia, when it possesses 6,000 nuclear warheads and its military doctrine explicitly states that it will use them before it will accept an existential military defeat?" The consequences of war and dehumanization always, always, always come home. There are no "nations," except in our imagi-nations.

I hope YOU are on the front lines or the first to sacrifice your heroic self. Count me out, buddy. I want peace and longevity for Russians, Ukrainians, Iranians, Chinese, and my own countrymen. Zelensky signed a pledge (to whom, idk) that he wouldn't negotiate with Putin, but only with another/new Russian president. NEGOTIATE. The USA overthrew the previous Ukrainian president in 2013 or 2014 in their Euromaidan event. The evidence is on the internet if you care to find it. I don't like Biden or Trump much, but if either were killed or overthrown by the meddling of a foreign government, I'd have a fit.

you can't be against war and be pro putin.

that's like being against war but pro american exceptionalism.
