Russian lawmakers authorize Putin to use military force outside the country, Part II

[hazard]

There is a very simple way for this war to end very quickly.

Ukraine surrenders. Not Russia, Ukraine, because Putin will not permit Russia to surrender, he would be lucky if all that does is he gets to retire to his nice dacha in the woods. Russian autocrats are not that lucky, he'd fall out of a window. He will break Russia to save his own life.

But we know what will happen should Ukraine surrender. Russia has shown it, time and time and time again. They showed it in the first days of the war and they have not relented. It might take years, it might take decades, but at the end of it, there would not be a Ukrainian left, each and every single one of them would have been murdered, their children either dead with them or abducted and turned into good little Russians.

If Russia wins, only one side will come out the poorer from it. And it would not be Ukraine, as Ukraine would no longer exist and thus cannot be poorer than it was before.

If the bloodshed of the Russia-Ukraine War is to end any time soon, Ukraine must be victorious with its territory intact.
