So Ukraine should just lay down their arms and let an authoritarian, borderline oligarchy like Russia have their way with the country?

Great logic bro. Can't argue with that.

Lots of assumptions on what would happen to Ukraine, and you are also implying that Ukraine is not an "authoritarian" (a word with no meaning) borderline oligarchy, so that's fascinating.

But yeah, even if these assumptions were true, then yeah I think it's better for people not to die in an unwinnable war, than for people to die and then for the same thing to happen. I'm a big fan of people Not Dying actually.

Great. Tell that to the Russians who occupied Bucha.

I'm glad you can make light of a tragic situation.

Good thing the bucha was debunked, but if it hadn't been I'd probably have urged you to look inward since you're the one who tried to use the tragedy as a way to score a cheap point, despite it not detracting from my overall arguement
