War is Not a Contest (and Has No Heroes)
he war in Ukraine needs to end; neither side is going to “win”. Worse yet, the conflict would spill over to other countries.
It’s nice to “pick sides” and cheer, especially when you’re far away, but the perpetuation of current tensions (and rising death toll) will elevate risk.
Choose the side of peace. The aim should be to end this as soon as possible, by diplomatic means if possible. Concessions are likely still possible.
When dealing with nuclear-armed nations there’s no prospect of “defeating” the enemy, only destroying the world.
