You've got an important word there. Scale.
Countries aren't people but they're made up of them. It wouldn't take nuclear weapons to annihilate your household.
Russia has invaded Ukraine's home and tried to lay claim. Now you're suggesting they give up what was taken from them to satisfy your desire for peace.
The analogy the other person used is fair. In another analogy Russia is nothing more than a bully. We've long moved past the time where the advice we give is to just give the bully your money so they don't beat you up and take it anyway.
Bullies also don't have nuclear weapons.
Stop comparing people to countries. The scale makes it so absurd, because nuclear weapons could end the god damn world.
Uh, yes. Yes they do.
Bullies have nukes? Damn, what are parents giving to their kids these days?
