Dude, wtf?! That is a shitty analogy. Country's territories can be brought back in the future. Tens of thousands dead— can not. This economy cannot sustain the pressure of war and a demographic pit and it could use even a temporary truce. Agitating to keep grinding everything down in the hope that some day Russia might fall (it haven't for 3 years already and doesn't seem to be on the verge of that anywhere soon) is the analogy to what a rapist does to a human.
If you think a country is just it's territory, you don't know what the word 'country' means.
'Just let it happen' mentality, for real.
Jesus, westerners are something else. What else would be lost from a truce other than territory temporarily?
This is the 3rd(?) time Russia has broken a treaty and stolen territory from Ukraine "temporarily" since that treat was signed.
