it's a late embrace of sanity in what was truly a reckless and outright criminal policy. if ukraine does not stop provoking it's much more powerful neighbour, it will soon cease to exist. what sort of delusion underlies the desire to keep fighting because the russians have invaded? that's a level of self-righteousness that's really hard to grasp. if this holds (and i do not think it will), it merely exposes how insane the idea of using force was in the first place.
was it pointless?
yes.
it was idiotic.
