        It’s definitely troll bait, but the underlying logic isn’t faulty.

        Putin could walk away from the war today and face nothing more than embarrassment. If Ukraine surrenders, they lose the eastern half of their country, if not their whole country.

          Yeah. I am afraid of thinking how much they’d lose then, besides territory. Lives of people from so-called People’s Republics was brutal, and that would be even worse.
