| That's a weird stance to take. If someone invaded a other territory next to yours and some of your unions members fear they're next, business as usual is the wrong strategy, imo |

| That's why diplomacy is important. There is no scenario that Europe, let alone Ukraine can militarily defeat Russia (a country with nuclear weapons). I understand defending the territory. But what is the end game? fight forever? or mutual destruction? |

| ▲ | sajithdilshan a day ago | parent [-] | | what if they cannot be kicked out? fight forever till Ukraine runs out of men to send to war? | | |
| ▲ | rcxdude a day ago | parent [-] | | Then that is a loss, yes. It is an attritional war: whoever runs out of resources or will first loses. I don't think most of Europe has internalised how big of a loss that would be. |
