I didn't say we should withdrawal aid anywhere, I said we should pressure Ukraine to talk.
This conflict is different to so many others because we're all too afraid to get involved, with good reason.
If nuclear weapons were not in the picture, we would have already had troops on the ground pushing Russia back, like we did in Kuwait.
But because we are hamstrung by the Nukes, we'll just pour money into a conflict that has stagnated.
There is no indication that Ukraine has the manpower to push Russia back from all its territory. Russia doesn't have to advance, she can just stay and hold what she has got, what's Ukraine going to do about it?
