The less we push against Russia now the more aggressive it will become in the future. Playing nice has led the world to a global crisis and Ukraine to a bloodshed filled with war crimes.

The less we push against Russia now the more aggressive it will become in the future.
There’s this certain line of argument that says that the best thing to do for peace is to let Ukraine fall, or at least force them to cede occupied territory. That thinking is so ignorant of history. When a country gets expansionist and the response is timid, it just means that they’re going to continue later.
May save some Ukrainians in the short term but they will just become front line meatshields in Russia’s next war if not worse (e.g. imprisoned under false pretences and / or enslaved).
Ukraine knows this so they’re essentially a cornered animal fighting its predator. Russia is taking a huge gamble and losing.
