Diplomacy is essential and should always be the first, second, and third line of defense. However, diplomacy backed by a stance of 'turning the other cheek' in the face of invasion often encourages further aggression, rather than preventing it.

In the end, when a nation is invaded and forced to defend itself, suggesting that they should simply surrender and allow themselves to be conquered is not only impractical but also dangerously naive. That mindset, rather than leading to peace, often perpetuates conflict.

Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict, Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict, "I dont want to keep hitting you with a steel rod, but each time you try and roll over, I'm forced to hit you! this is all your fault"

This is just victim blaming, war-sympathizing, and Russia simping behavior. Russia started it, Russia continues it, and Russia could end it tomorrow at no loss of life. I don't know WHY you are pro-Russia, but you ARE revealing yourself to be pro-war, as long as its anyone but the USA.

If Ukriane gave up today, thousands of people would STILL die as Russia invades, sends people to camps, ect ect. But i guess you are OK with that.
