I would have been the first to leave Ukraine. (I dodged the draft in Germany)

And I'm fine with all the Ukrainians in Germany who do not want to fight.

(and I would welcome Russians who do not want to fight)

Ukraine has no good options. Mearsheimer predicts a territorial loss of 40% and no NATO membership for the rest of Ukraine.

Losing 40% is much better than losing 100%.

(Also it's Mearsheimer, what a joke)

many predicted Kyiv will fall in 3 days in 2022.

That would have certainly been a lot better for the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians that went straight to an early grave.

that's up to them to decide how is better to live and what is better to die for.
