It's for Ukraine and only Ukraine to decide
That is not completely accurate. They are dependent on arms that they don't produce, so those arm producing countries also have a say.
For the country they are illegally invading it really is existential
Certajnly.
Why would Ukraine surrender when they aren't losing
Because they aren't winning. And, they are facing major manpower shortages.
You must think the long game.
And you didn't mention reparations
I'm not providing an exhaustive list. I'm making stream of consciousness suggestions. I'm not nitpicky maiden jon. I'm a robust American man. :)
Korea was back in early-period American hegemony. Now that hegemony is gone, there's no reason..
American hegemony has nothing to do with it. Korea is an example of a possible, if not probable, setup to stop the war.
Ukraine is bombing refineries producing fuel for the illegal and unprovoked behaviour
Just because it's indeed illegal, it doesn't change that it is happening. The bombing of refineries is not unleashing hell upon Russia...at least not yet.
Anyhow, we're not saying things that haven't been said before. Uke-Russia is a merry-go-round argument.
Hopefully, a solution is found that will stop the meat grinder without escalating this conflict to something that is worse than it already is. Just seems a lot of people have their heads up their a$$ea-maybe I'm one of those people...hold it, that's absurd...AntV's head up his own ass...preposterous.
