There's an arrogance about the Ukrainian response here that's pretty remarkable
They act like they are simply entitled to the West's support, and that anyone who advocates anything less than Russia's unconditional surrender is an appeaser

America's primary interest is in avoiding a nuclear war with Russia
Don't like it, @MelnykAndrij? Then do without all the money and military aid we send you
You're the ones who got into a war you couldn't win on your own, you don't get to dictate terms to us

In many ways the war has gotten far more dangerous for the world now that Putin is retreating
Is anyone in NATO even thinking about how to create an off-ramp - a way for Putin to withdraw from Ukraine that still allows him to save face?

It would be one thing if Ukraine had simple beaten Putin on their own, without Western assistance
But the monetary value of the aid we've sent to Ukraine exceeds the yearly budget of the entire Russian military
If we beat Putin, we're on the hook for how to resolve matters

This is the underpants gnomes theory of Russian statecraft
Step 1: Force Putin to withdraw from Ukraine
Step 2: ????????
Step 3: Putin quietly resigns as Russian President

Some blue-check pointing and sputtering here
Obsessing over semantics while not addressing the fundamental point
We are Ukraine's benefactor, they do not get to dictate terms to us

"What, you don't think that Ukraine is a perfectly innocent paragon of goodness, and that Vladimir Putin is evil incarnate?"
No, lol
No, lol
It's like these people have exactly one historical analogy they understand

I think Elon actually laid out a pretty good off-ramp
Russia keeps Crimea, UN-supervised referendums in the "annexed" territories, Ukraine neutrality
Likely outcome is status quo ante, Russia unlikely to get any further territory, Putin could sell it
