> It is sad Ukraine felt the need to conscript teenagers to die and it’s even worse the West has encouraged this massive loss of life to continue

It's weird you don't think Ukrainians are motivated to defend their country from an invader. It's also weird that you think letting an invading army—especially one that is losing—dictate who runs your government, and what's in your constitution, is "incredibly reasonable".

When my apartment building is getting shelled to rubble, changing a few things in my constitution to make the shelling stop is 100% reasonable. I think many people eating up the media right now think resistance is great but they mostly think that because they’re thousands of miles away in their cozy condos ordering from uber eats.

In the end, it doesn't really matter what we think. If you think resistance isn't worth it, it's your fellow countrymen you need to convince—not us. If Ukrainian resistance dries up, then foreign support for that resistance will dry up as well.
