Yes war is hell, people die, families are torn apart, parents burry their children. Putin started this war, he didn't have to and he could stop it with a word but he doesn't. He keeps doubling down. It's not that no one wants peace. Everyone wants peace. What they each want to negotiate for peace is incompatible with the other. Ukraine wants it's land and sovereignty back. Putin's regime wants that land and sovereignty over Ukraine. There's nothing to negotiate for when your goals are so incompatible. There's nothing to negotiate for when your land is occupied. There's nothing to negotiate for when your opponent will only use that opportunity to come back stronger than before. If somehow Putin could offer something impossible that would prevent Russia from ever invading Ukraine again then MAYBE there can be a peace and that's probably Putin's head on a platter.
I think peace could be made it there would be a civil war against Putin or a coup d'etat and I am surprised it has not happened yet.
But yeah I see your point but I think we should always strive for peace and I think that it could be possible for somebody to stop Putler without destroying Ukraine, Russia or worse, the entire fucking world.
We are all one fucking button away from two suns in the sunset.
I would love that to be true, I wish it was possible to stop Putin without blowing up half of Europe and threatening the rest of the world. I sincerely wish you were right, but that's not the world we live in right now.
